Alexander Scriabin plays Etude op 8 no 12

1872-1915, the Russian pianist, mystic, visionary, virtuoso, and composer, Scriabin dedicated his life to creating musical works which would, as he believed, open the portals of the spiritual world. Scriabin took piano lessons as a child, joining, in 1884, Nikolay Zverov’s class, where Rachmaninov was a fellow student. From 1888 to 1892, Scriabin studied at the Moscow Conservatory, where his teachers included Arensky, Taneyev, and Safonov. Although Scriabin’s hand could not easily stretch beyond an octave, he developed into a prodigious pianist, launching an international concert career in 1894.
