Important Russian composer (1872–1915) best known for his advanced, idiosyncratic tonal language, at once in evidence in his piano sonatas and his symphony subtitled “Poem of Ecstasy.” Scriabin evinced a strong interest in the philosophical and visual aspects, and particularly the “color,” of music, and even invented a color keyboard that was supposed to project specifically colored lights according to musical pitch. Scarce and excellent matte-finish 3.25 x 5.25 postcard photo, signed in ink “A. Scriabine.” A touch of light silvering at edges and somewhat indistinct contrast against dark background, otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
