  Alexander Scriabin biography - 8notes.com
Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin (Алекса́ндр Никола́евич Скря́бин; sometimes transliterated as Skryabin) (January 6, 1872 – April 27, 1915) was a Russian composer and pianist.
Theosophist and composer Dane Rudhyar wrote that Scriabin was 'the one great pioneer of the new music of a reborn Western civilization, the father of the future musician,' (Rudhyar 1926b, 899) and an antidote to 'the Latin reactionaries and their apostle, Stravinsky' and the 'rule-ordained' music of 'Schoenberg's group.' (Ibid., 900-901).
Many of Scriabin's works are written for the piano; the earliest pieces resemble Frederic Chopin and include music in many forms that Chopin himself employed, such as the etude, the prelude and the mazurka.

The development of Scriabin's voice or style can be followed in his ten piano sonatas: the earliest are in a fairly conventional late-Romantic idiom and show the influence of Chopin and Franz Liszt, but the later ones move into new territory, the last five being written with no key signature.

Scriabin wrote a large number of short pieces, including preludes, etudes, and poems.
Nearly all of Scriabin's works have opus numbers.
His work can be divided into three (somewhat arbitrary) periods, based on increasing atonality: early, Opus 1-29; middle, Opus 30-53; and late, Opus 54-74.

 Was Scriabin a Synaesthete?
Nevertheless, accepting Scriabin's system of "colored hearing" (to be more accurate, the system of his analogies) as somewhat fixed, we proposed, for convenience sake, its graphic notation (see fig.1) [25].
Rimsky-Korsakov proceeded from his personal positions and Scriabin - from his (perhaps, it was also of an importance that the former had the absolute pitch hearing and the latter, as it is known, - the relative) [28].
The more close analysis shows that in Scriabin's work an ability of "light-sound synaesthesia" appeared to be of more importance than "color-", that let him attain an effect of "effulgence", "light-bearing" of the music itself even without real light [34, 35].

 Errors in orchestral works by Scriabin ( M.J.E. / Composer Listings / Scriabin / ~ )
Scriabin is one of my very favourite composers, and his orchestral works must count amongst my favourite orchestral works of all time, and I have the scores for all of them, and have at various times studied them quite closely.
Unless a conductor happens to know the precise instrumentation for this work, he or she will have to page right through the score, making note of any instruments that occur which are not included on the first page.
In the Luce part, Scriabin usually ties the notes together when they are the same in two adjacent bars - and the absence of the flat sign in front of the second D also indicates that the tie should be included.

This list has been divided into four periods -- such a distinction is, of course, in some ways arbitrary; however, the nature of the music lends itself well to this division and in particular it is important to know the break between the first and second groups.
The work is thirteen minutes in length, the middle section being an extended cadenza for the solo violin centered at the golden section (i.e.

 Alexander Scriabin - Precursor of the Future Synthetic Art | Rudhyar Archival Project | Musical Works and Writings
The many preludes and poems of Scriabin's first period thus continue Chopin's preludes, and using the longings, innocence and purity, together with the passionate storms, which are so characteristic of the romantic spirit of the Polish visionary.
For the lasting value of Scriabin lies in his being the first to conceive a true modal order upon which to build music, and in his daring to realize it in works; therefore, inspired by a tender yet powerful nature, he approximated the ideal which he foresaw, without transforming entirely the very units of music.
Scriabin, then, stands as a prophet of the music of the future, a seer to whose Inner gaze the plans of a great art-synthesis were revealed; a man who lived the true life of the artist with sincerity, probity and enthusiasm.

 Alexander Scriabin
Scriabin's concept of the passage of time, and of the internal logic of a composition, are certainly non-Western.
For Prokofiev and Stravinsky, who were to work with the traditional forms of Western music and its orderly way of progressing through time, the Scriabin influence was a pernicious one that had to be eliminated.
In his "middle period" Szymanowski is heavily influenced by later Scriabin, in his similarly rich harmonic and textural palette, and in the sensuous quality of the music with its ecstatic climaxes.

The first movement is an "essay on melody" and is governed by the "naïve/sentimental" tune, a melody that begins the music and floats throughout the twenty-minute structure like an ideé fixe, usually accompanied by the strumming of the guitar and harps.
The thrid movement ends the work with pealing bells and joyful annunciatory horns, the rushing of strings and winds.

 Tonalsoft Encyclopaedia of Tuning -- chronological list of works of Alois Hába, (c)1999 by Joe Monzo
He found his first success as a composer in Berlin, studied Stumpf's and Hornbostel's work in Oriental (i.e., near-eastern) music at their phono-disc archives, and published his first theoretical treatise (in Czech), the small booklet Harmonické základy ctvrttónové soustavy ['Harmonic foundations of the quarter-tone system'].
In 1925 he wrote his major theoretical work and translated and published it in German, Neue Harmonielehre des diatonischen, chromatischen, viertel-, drittel-, sechstel-, und zwöftel-tonsystems ['New harmony-textbook of the diatonic, chromatic (12-ET), quarter- (24-ET), third- (18-ET), sixth- (36-ET), and twelfth-tone (72-ET) systems'].
An important event was Hába's attendance of a lecture by Adriaan Fokker at the International Society of Contemporary Music in 1948; under the influence of this, he engaged in a long study of the fifth-tone (31-tET) system, finally using it in his 16th Quartet in 1967.

 Re: GG: Scriabin Works
The fine pianist Ruth Laredo (formerly married to Jaime Laredo, the violinst, with whom GG recorded Bach Sonatas), who has herself recorded much of Scriabin, in an interview on PBS radio some time ago said that GG's playing of no. 3 lacked the "fire, etc,..." required.
Although she is an admirer of Gould's Bach, she felt he gave a perfunctory performance of Scriabin.
She is a masterful artist (listen to her playing when you get the chance), but the aspect of GG's Scriabin that she disliked stems from a misundertanding of S's intentions.
