Alexander Scriabin: 27 April – 1 May

[Roehre]

Let's not forget Zvezdoliki. It's easy to overlook the influence of Scriabin on the work due to its famed dedication to Debussy. However, as Stravinsky mentioned in a post card to Florent Schmitt, at the time of its composition he was playing the music of both Debussy and Scriabin exclusively.

Shortly afterwards followed by Schönberg (Pierrot lunaire); a real omnivorous composer, not only then, but through the whole of his composing career - and all that music of his we call "typical Stravinsky"

I do think generally Scriabin's influence on Stravinsky is understated.
