Today, 25th December is the birthday of one of the greatest artistic and musical figure of our world, the composer Alexander Scriabin. It is also Christmas, so I wish you a merry Christmas! Lastly, it is also the 100th video of this channel. Thank you for the support.
For the occasion, here is one of the most magical, grandiose and romantic Concerto for Piano. The Piano Concerto in F sharp minor, Op. 20, is an early work, written in 1896, when he was 24, it was his first work for orchestra and the only concerto he composed. Scriabin completed the concerto in only a few days in the fall of 1896, but did not finish the orchestration until the following May (and only after constant urging by his publisher and patron Mitrofan Belyayev). Belyayev paid the composer 600 rubles (roughly $10,000 in current USD); it premiered in October 1897 and was finally published in 1898.
