Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915)

Russian composer and pianist who began his career sounding almost like a direct descendant of Chopin, then spent the rest of it pushing further and further from any conventional harmony at all, chasing an increasingly mystical, almost occult vision of what music could do to a listener's mind. He believed sound and colour were fundamentally connected and built a machine, a "colour organ," meant to project light in sync with his orchestral piece Prometheus. He died suddenly at forty-three from an infected lip sore, midway through sketches for a work he claimed would end the world.

How the reader works

Each score opens as engraved notation you can read from the stand, and it plays: hear the piece first, then slow it down and loop the bar that is not working. There is nothing to install and no account to make. When you want paper, print it.

Every file is MusicXML, so MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale and Dorico open them too.

Where to go next

If you are learning Scriabin rather than only reading, the scale pages cover fingering in every key, the chord pages spell out every chord, and the symbol dictionary explains any mark on the page you do not recognise.
