Les Douze Études, op. 8 / Les Vingt Quatre Préludes, op. 11

Album by Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin & Vladimir Vladimirovich Sofronitsky

Les Douze Études, Op. 8 and Les Vingt-Quatre Préludes, Op. 11 are two sets of piano pieces by Alexandre Scriabine, composed in the 1890s. The études present virtuosic, technically demanding studies while the preludes are concise, harmonically exploratory miniatures that document Scriabine's transition from late-Romantic pianism towards his increasingly chromatic and colouristic harmonic style, situating these works as a key stage in his artistic development.
