Some Features of Alexander Scriabin's Piano Style. Dedicated to A. Skryabin's 150th anniversary

Abstract

Alexander Scriabin is one of the greatest representatives of the musical culture of the late 19th and early 20h centuries. As a daring innovator, he created an original sound universe with an inimitable system of images and expressions. Scriabin was influenced by various idealistic philosophical and aesthetic concepts of his time. The contradictions of Russia's complex pre-revolutionary era are reflected in his music's bright contrasts, with rebellious impulses and discretion, sensual sighs, and imperative exclamations.
Scriabin's piano sonatas reflect all stages in the evolution of his work. They, as well as his symphonic works, reveal one of the most important tendencies in his music - the hidden, disguised program. These are programmatic works with no literary or artistic basis (in some cases, the commentaries were added after the music was completed). As is known, programmatic content is not necessarily tied to the title of the work. It can be implicit, conditional, symbolic, abstract, or subjective. Indeed, the philosophical-idealistic programs of Scriabin's sonatas are remarkably relevant, and the music of the sonatas is still perceived by listeners and continues to retain its powerful influence. A. Scriabin left an indelible mark on world music culture. His work had a significant impact on the development of twentieth-century piano and symphonic music.
