Alexander Scriabin (6 January 1872 [O.S. 25 December 1871] – 27 April [O.S. 14 April] 1915) was a Russian composer and pianist. Scriabin was one of the most innovative and most controversial of early modern composers, and is considered by some to be the main Russian Symbolist composer. Independently of Arnold Schoenberg, Scriabin developed a substantially atonal and much more dissonant musical system. He was influenced by synesthesia, and associated colours with the various harmonic tones of his atonal scale. Scriabin had a major impact on the music world, and influenced composers such as Stravinsky and Prokofiev.

***

Vladimir Sofronitsky (May 8 [O.S. April 25] 1901 – August 26, 1961) was a Soviet-Russian classical pianist, best known as an interpreter of the Russian composer Alexander Scriabin, whose daughter he married. The other composer with whom Sofronitsky had the greatest affinity is Frédéric Chopin. Beyond Chopin and Scriabin, he had a wide repertoire spanning major composers from Johann Sebastian Bach to Nikolai Medtner. Sofronitsky gave many performances at the Scriabin Museum in Moscow, and made a fair number of recordings, including a large number of Scriabin works, in the last two decades of his life.
