...can't stand his "music". I've tried multiple times. Have given up on him.
Follow Ups:
Love Scriabin's piano music (sonatas, etudes, poems, preludes, etc) but can never warm up to his orchestral compositions, and I am NOT a pianist!
Seriously though, that's a real "entry way" to understanding Scriabin's music - playing it yourself. The idiom just gets to you after awhile. I once read about a music history professor (I forget which university he worked at) who annually asked his students to rate Scriabin's music (along with other questions about various other composers). The students in general rated Sciabin's music merely "OK", but the pianists in his classes tended to rate it "outstanding"! ;-)
OTOH, there was a reviewer for Stereo Review IIRC who recounted his stay in a vacation house in the country with his kids. During a thunderstorm, he was playing some recordings of Scriabin's music when one of his kids burst into the room and asked accusingly, "Why do you have to keep playing that creepy music when the weather's like this?" ;-)
.
Preludes, Mazurkas. . . it's all good! ;-)
You can really follow his compositional development via the Preludes.
