Absolute Scriabin. Scriabin and Schoenberg

In discussions about Alexander Scriabin, the term "the Absolute" sometimes arises in a figurative sense. The composer had a profound interest 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 expression.
