The study of musical content in relation to harmonic, tonal, motivic and formal aspects of Scriabin's technique. A significant part of the discussions will be devoted to innovations in pitch structure and form, as well as large-scale musical projects of Scriabin. In particular, we will cover the topics of three stylistic periods in Scriabin’s biography, the evolution of his harmony on the examples of harmonic analysis of preludes, etudes, piano miniatures and orchestral compositions. The format of this seminar will include student performances, short presentations and exercises in harmonization.
