A Year with Alexander Scriabin — A 52-Week Guided Music Journal

Spend a year with Alexander Scriabin through a guided 52-week music journal inspired by piano fire, perfume, mysticism, colour, ecstatic sonatas, fragile nerves, visionary ambition, unfinished ritual, trembling light, and the strange intensity of modern music.

This journal invites you to meet Scriabin not only as a mystic or eccentric, but as a highly charged artist shaped by Moscow childhood, maternal loss, cadet discipline, Chopin devotion, Conservatory rivalry, bodily injury, ambition, sensuality, spiritual speculation, public charisma, moral contradiction, and the desire to make music feel larger than ordinary form.

Across the year, each weekly section explores one moment from Scriabin's life and sound-world — from childhood rooms, missing mother, early piano hunger, the wounded hand, Op. 11 Preludes, the First Sonata, Belyayev, Vera Isakovich, European travel, the Third and Fourth Sonatas, Paris salons, Tatyana Schloezer, the Poèmes, The Divine Poem, the Fifth Sonata, theosophy, The Poem of Ecstasy, Vers la flamme, Prometheus, the late sonatas, Mysterium, final illness, death, and the unfinished fire of his legacy.

Each week includes a featured focus, recommended listening, reflective writing, "Listen For / Look For / Notice" points, personal reflection questions, and a dedicated Journal Notes page. The result is a slow, structured listening journey through Scriabin's world of perfume, voltage, fragile beauty, ecstatic pressure, visionary excess, and music that seems to tremble between body, spirit, colour, desire, and fire.
