	Alexander Scriabin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scriabin was born into an aristocratic family in Moscow on Christmas day.
		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).
		Scriabin's original colour keyboard, with its associated turntable of coloured lamps, is preserved in his apartment near the Arbat in Moscow, which is now a museum dedicated to his life and works.

		Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin (sometimes transliterated as Skryabin) (January 6, 1872 - April 27, 1915) was a Russian composer and pianist.
		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.
		Scriabin wrote only a small number of orchestral works, including a piano concerto (1896), The Poem of Ecstasy (1908) and Prometheus: The Poem of Fire (1910), which includes a part for a "clavier à lumières" - an implement played like a piano, but which flooded the concert hall with coloured light rather than sound.

	Was Scriabin a Synaesthete?
		In searching for the common Scriabin builds up a system of color-tonal analogies: "The three clear to me colors gave me three bearings",- said he, confessing that the rest colors are derived by him "theoretically" [21, p.203].
		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].

	Lia Tomás, Scriabin
		Scriabin was all of this at the same time, a personality that combined contradictions.
		Also with «Prometheus»;, Scriabin opens a new phase of his output and musical language, where basic concepts of traditional harmony such as the idea of tonality are replaced by preconceived harmonic nuclei that can generate the theme and unify the derivations of the chords in the composition.
		Scriabin's Prometheus cannot be simply narrated by the interpreter; as a mythical character it needs materiality to leave the realm of the composer's imagination and be established as reality.

	Scriabin on disc
		Scriabin became a kind of guru to music devotees disenchanted by the status quo and eager to explore, as he himself did, the potential of the senses as a means to artistic (and thus spiritual) enlightenment.
		Scriabin described his harmony as something that the interpreter is obliged to 'walk around', to weave in and out of as he illuminates its innumerable protrusions and shadowy recesses.
		Scriabin's early works, until about 1903, are lyrical and effusive, formally inspired by Chopin (waltzes, mazurkas, ballades, preludes, impromptus and scherzos), though where content was concerned his voice was very much his own.

		Scriabin had a critical attitude to contemporary Western trends in music, such as impressionism and expressionism, and their representatives Debussy, Shoenberg and Strauss.
		In the last years of his life Scriabin endeavoured to expand the range of music further by harmoniously combining the music, the word, the movement, the colour and the light, to produce a universal work of art which would have a much stronger impact than a purely musical composition.

		Scriabin was also heavily evolved in the teachings of Theosophy and in mysticism and his whole life and his music leaned more and more in this direction as time went on.
		Scriabin's forth symphony, composed between 1905 and 1907, was called the "Poem of Ecstasy as was a single movement lasting a half hour, so it is really more a poem than a symphonic work.
		Scriabins' music from the forth sonata on is a mixture of negative and positive, though he never mixed the two in a single piece or movement.

		Scriabin was more practical than many of his contemporaries, however, for he had a clear idea of how to catalyze the apocalypse.
		But Scriabin's own personality is also evident from the beginning: the positive thrust towards the far reaches of dominant harmony in Opus 2 #1, for example, or the continual favoring of melodic leaps, demonstrated by a comparison between his etude in sixths (Opus 12 #6) and Chopin's.
		This is the Scriabin who liked to skip like a child (even in his thirties), the Scriabin who when crossing a bridge over a ravine claimed to his friends that he could jump over the edge, stop in mid-air, and return safely.

		Scriabin was the most unusual composer ever nurtured by Russia, and for good or for ill, he still stands as one of the rarest of musical innovators— and the most controversial.
		Scriabin continued to practice with his left hand, and the result was the wellknown solo music for the left hand.
		By 1909 Scriabin was a god of sorts, and Koussevitsky a much disliked man. He had married, for the second time, an heiress to a fairyland fortune of tea, chemicals, and ordnance factories.

	American Symphony Orchestra - Essay
		The bulk of the work by Alexander Scriabin, who was born in Moscow on January 6, 1872, and died there on April 27, 1915, is for piano solo.
		By the dawn of the new century, Scriabin was firmly ensconced in a kind of mysticism that was wholly characteristic both of various philosophies, such as Theosophy, and of the particular brand of literary Symbolism flourishing in Russia at the time.
		Part of Scriabin's aesthetic and philosophical strategy in doing this involved the nineteenth-century theory of synesthesia, which proposed equivalencies between the various sensorial elements-smells, colors and sounds in particular-that the work of art can mobilize.

	Genesis of Alexander Scriabin's
		Scriabin selected and absorbed from numerous past and present teachings those moments which could explain or justify his failure in achieving a brilliant feat: to realise, independently, an unique artistic action named,,Mystery".
		Scriabin was the first composer to introduce into a musical score an independent role for a light instrument; the "Luce".
		Moreover, at this point, Scriabin had to resign his position as theosophist, and he allowed himself to be guided solely by his intuition of artistic genius.

	Alexander Scriabin - Precursor of the Future Synthetic Art \| Rudhyar Archival Project \| Musical Works and Writings
		Yet Scriabin reaches beyond the occasional sentimentality of Chopin; and a greater serenity, a subtler type of aspiration are manifest in these pages, foreboding the greater Scriabin of the later days.
		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.
