Scriabin

Japanese: スクリャービン

Russian composer and pianist. He studied at the Moscow Conservatory in his hometown (Rachmaninoff was one of his classmates). While performing in Moscow and throughout Europe, he produced works such as the Piano Concerto (1897-1898), which was heavily influenced by Chopin. In 1898, he became a professor of piano at his alma mater, but resigned five years later. Around this time, he became interested in Nietzsche, and his works gradually became more complex in style. In 1905, he discovered the theosophy of the Russian mystic HP Blavatsky (1831-1891) in Brussels, and his inclination towards mysticism deepened. After that, he pursued his own unique harmonic idiom, including the so-called "mystical chords," and wrote orchestral pieces such as Poem of Ecstasy (1905-1907), Piano Sonata No. 5 (1907), and Piano Sonata No. 9, Black Mass (1911-1913). All piano sonatas from the fifth onwards were single-movement, and the framework of the sonata form was also broken down. In the orchestral work Promethe (1908-1910), he attempted to integrate harmony and colour by using a coloured organ that projected colours by operating the keyboard, and in the unfinished Mystery Play he added dance and scent to this, aiming to fuse all five senses. → Preludes/Sonatas/Etudes → Related topics Impressionism

ロシアの作曲家，ピアノ奏者。生地のモスクワ音楽院に学ぶ（同期生にラフマニノフがいる）。モスクワやヨーロッパ各地で演奏活動を繰り広げる一方，ショパンの影響の濃い《ピアノ協奏曲》（1897年−1898年）などを発表。1898年母校のピアノ教授となるが５年後に辞任。このころからニーチェに傾倒し，作品は徐々に複雑な書法をとった。1905年ブリュッセルでロシアの神秘思想家H.P.ブラバツキー〔1831-1891〕の神智学を知り，神秘主義的傾向を深める。以後，いわゆる〈神秘和音〉を含む独自の和声語法の探求を進め，管弦楽曲《法悦の詩》（1905年−1907年）や《ピアノ・ソナタ第５番》（1907年），《同第９番・黒ミサ》（1911年−1913年）などが書かれた。第５番以降のピアノ・ソナタはすべて単一楽章となり，ソナタ形式の枠組みも崩れる。また管弦楽曲《プロメテ》（1908年−1910年）では，鍵盤(けんばん)の操作によって色彩を映し出す〈色光オルガン〉を用いて和声と色彩との統合が試みられ，未完に終わった《神秘劇》ではこれに舞踊や香りをも加え，五感すべての融合が意図されている。→前奏曲／ソナタ／練習曲
