Absolute Scriabin. Scriabin and Brahms

Description

In discussions about Alexander Scriabin, the term "absolute" sometimes arises in a figurative sense. The composer was deeply interested in mysticism and theosophy; he viewed art—and music in particular—as a powerful instrument for the spiritual transformation of humanity. In this context, the "absolute" represents the very idea of seeking a higher, universal truth through creative work.
