Alexander Scriabin

Composer

Alexander Scriabin was a Russian composer and pianist who became a leading figure in the late Romantic and early modern periods. Initially influenced by Frédéric Chopin, he developed a highly personal and innovative musical language, characterized by increasingly atonal and dissonant harmonies. Scriabin was deeply interested in mysticism, theosophy, and symbolism, which profoundly influenced his creative vision, including his concept of a multimedia work called 'Mysterium'. His major works, such as 'The Divine Poem,' 'The Poem of Ecstasy,' and his piano sonatas, showcase his unique synthesis of music, philosophy, and spiritualism.
