Alexander Scriabin ©
Alexander Scriabin first encountered the music of Frederic Chopin at the age of 12. The experience would prove formative for him, and momentous for the course of 20th-century music. In the latter half of that century, Scriabin appeared an exotic outlier, exerting more influence on musicians, and specifically the ‘Russian Piano School’, than on later composers. What perplexed earlier writers and listeners, in the distance travelled by Scriabin between the music of his early and late periods, may be assimilated in retrospect, as the life lived and the voice trained by a single, remarkable individual. We continue to develop more informed insights into the early music of his contemporaries, the more renowned radicals such as Schoenberg and Stravinsky, and how the seeds of their musical revolutions germinated within the rich soil of late Romanticism. So much is true also of Scriabin: everyone has to come from somewhere.
