Préludes op. 11, 16, 22, 27

Album by Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin & Anna Gourari

Préludes opp. 11, 16, 22 and 27 are collections of piano preludes by Russian composer Alexander Scriabin, composed between 1888 and 1897. These short piano pieces sit within the late-Romantic idiom and display increasing chromaticism, adventurous harmonic language and varied textures, documenting Scriabin's progression from Chopin-influenced pianism toward a more individual, colouristic harmonic approach that foreshadows his later, more experimental stage.
First released: 1999
