Alexander Scriabin was a remarkable Russian composer and pianist, celebrated for his unique and mystical approach to music. Early in his career, he was influenced by the Romantic styles of Chopin, which shaped his initial works. However, as he matured, Scriabin developed an innovative harmonic language that challenged the traditional boundaries of music. He believed in the synesthetic qualities of sound, linking specific colours to different musical keys. This belief inspired his ambition for grand performances that combined music, colour, and movement. Some of his most famous pieces include his piano sonatas, the Poem of Ecstasy, and Prometheus: The Poem of Fire, the latter featuring a special colour organ.

Although Scriabin passed away at the young age of 43 due to an infection, his pioneering ideas have left a lasting impact on music, influencing many composers who followed. His enchanting compositions continue to captivate audiences today.
