Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin (6 January 1872 โ€“ 27 April 1915) was a Russian composer and pianist. Scriabin’s early work is characterised by a lyrical and idiosyncratic tonal language influenced by Frรฉdรฉric Chopin. Later in his career, independent of Arnold Schoenberg, Scriabin developed a substantially atonal and much more dissonant musical system, accorded to mysticism. Scriabin was influenced by synesthesia, and associated colors with the various harmonic tones of his atonal scale, while his color-coded circle of fifths was also influenced by theosophy. He is considered by some to be the main Russian Symbolist composer.
