Scriabin was
considered an eccentric during his youth, and later became obsessed with
synesthesia, associating pitches with specific colors. He had an affinity for Chopin, and thus his
early style blended lush Chopinesque harmonies with Lisztian virtuosity...
The b minor
Fantasy uses the piano in all its dynamic range. Here is Scriabin already exploring the colors
of the instrument. After the opening
march-like theme, the second theme soars with a heart-breaking melody, which
culminates in the restatement of the lyrical second theme in this passionate
and tempestuous work. Soyeon Lee
