This book is the first most complete and devoid of pretentious extremes biography of the brilliant Russian pianist, composer and romantic thinker A.N. Skryabin. He surprised, delighted, frightened, annoyed and made him worship his work. But, as the author of this study rightly believes, "only the life of works after the death of the one who caused them to this life gives the most faithful sensations; who the composer really was." Therefore, the most interesting pages of the book are devoted to reflections on the music of A.N. Skryabin, the secret of her aspiration for the future.
