Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) – outstanding Russian composer whose musical style till nowadays could be considered as a modern. He came to the atonal music in the 90th of the 19th century being the profit of the so-called neoclassical style of the 20th century. Conceptions and style of Scriabin’s early works, especially works for piano are developing romantic style of Chopin, Schumann, Brahms. But later Scriabin had radically changed his style probably under the influence of theosophical theory of Elena Blavatskaia. Being deeply evolved in the artistic creation he considered himself as a messiah called to liberate the mankind from the hard matters of the material world. Scriabin planned to perform in the Tibetan temple his synthetic work “The mystery” in which he wanted to unit all of the arts to make extremely strong effect to the audience provoking the qualitative changes of the human existence.
Despite of the idealistic matter the works by Scriabin expose the perfect music style expressing the symbolist images by the modern musical language.

Following Scriabin’s idea of using the colored light as a rhythmical and dynamic musical instrument Iryna Riabchun had come to the crating and performing of the special colored light score in her piano concerts (look at Piano & Light file).
Iryna Riabchun had performed the works of the Alexander Scriabin in Greece (Athens, Santorini) within the program “The Russian music salon of the 19th century ”in 1995-1998. She released her first Skriabin solo program in February 2000 in National Academy of Music in Kyiv (Ukraine) and the same time she did her first “ Piano and colored light” performance in The National Children Academy of Arts (Kyiv, Ukraine).
In the April 2003 the pianist had for two times released the Scriabin” project as a Lecture- concert in Jakarta, Indonesia (Jakarta International School of Music, Harvest moon society (Comunitas bulan Purnama).
