  4. #AmListeningTo (#VladimirHorowitz playing) #Scriabin. Stunning.

    I'm new to this Russian composer. Inspired by the reference to his Prelude no. 14 in E-flat Minor in Chris Cander's novel THE WEIGHT OF A PIANO (which I just finished).

    Have moved on to his #Piano #Études. Gorgeous.

    This painting of the composer is by Alexander Pinogov. Beautiful.
