Zusammenfassung:	Skryabin's life spanned the tumultuous political events and artistic developments of the end of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th but was cut short before the end of the First World War. In an era when the Russian musical scene was relatively conservative, he aligned himself with the poets, philosophers, and dramatists of the Silver Age. Possessed by an apocalyptic vision, aspects of which he shared with other Russian thinkers and artists of the period, Skryabin transformed his Romantic musical style into a far-reaching, radical instrument for the expression of his ideas. The core of this text is a full translation of the 1919 Moscow publication of Skryabin's writings with the original introduction by Skryabin's close friend Boris de Schloezer, brother of the composer's life partner, Tat'yana
