Alexander Scriabin (1872–1915) was a Russian composer and pianist, whose innovative and lavish harmonic language influenced the course of 20th-century music. Born on January 6, 1872, in Moscow, Scriabin was recognized as a prodigious talent at a young age. He attended the Moscow Conservatory, where he studied piano and composition, eventually developing a highly personal and often mystical approach to music.
Scriabin's early works were influenced by Chopin, evident in his lyrical and idiosyncratic mazurkas, études, and preludes. However, as he developed, his music became more complex and chromatic, leading towards atonality. Scriabin envisioned art as a bridge to a higher spiritual plane, which he sought to express through his music. His later compositions, which include ten piano sonatas and various orchestral works such as the "Poem of Ecstasy" and "Prometheus: The Poem of Fire," feature innovative uses of color and harmony aimed at inducing synesthetic experiences in the listeners. Despite his untimely death from septicemia at just 43 years of age, Scriabin's legacy endures, and his music continues to fascinate and inspire musicians and audiences around the world.
