The influence of Chopin in Piano music on the twenty-four preludes for Piano, Opus 11 of Alexander Scriabin

Lim, Seong-Ae

Abstract Details

2002, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.

This document discusses how Chopin's influence marked a point of departure in Scriabin's compositional style. I will identify in particular the similarities between Chopin's works and Scriabin's 24 Preludes, Op. 11, by the following categorization: Form, Melody, Harmony, Texture, Rhythm, and Pianistic difficulty. Scriabin's early style may be described as Chopinesque. Because of this borrowed style, Scriabin's early works are frequently overlooked. This study conducts a critical examination of Scriabin's early works, specifically his 24 preludes, Op. 11, in the context of Chopin's influence, and discusses the possible implications of their common pianistic style. This document contains three chapters and a conclusion: Chapter 1, biography of Alexander Scriabin; Chapter 2, historical background of Scriabin's Preludes; Chapter 3, the similarity of stylistic characteristics between Chopin and Scriabin's piano preludes, Op. 11.
