Alex
ander Scriabin
(1872-1915) was a Russian
composer and pianist. He
was one of the most
famous musicians within
the Russian Empire during
his lifetime, but
remained virtually
unheard-of in the West
and was quicklyforgotten
after his death. His best
known works are his 5
symphonies, but he also
wrote hundreds of
Preludes and
Etudes.
Etu
de in C Sharp
Minor was one of
Scriabin's
earliest published works,
beingthe first of the
Trois Morceaux
(Three Morsels) that
formed his second opus.
It is a delicate work
which modulates through
several connected keys,
and at a similar level to
the Etudes of Chopin. A
perfect recital item
forany pianist who wants
to master a piece by an
under-performed
composer.
