what time period is scriabin considered?

[dj]

ok my problem is this....im considering playing scriabin's op. 2 no. 1 for my college auditions.....but a romantic piece and a 20th century piece are required and im not sure which would include this etude? i know it was written in the 19th century so i would guess that means its not a 20th century piece but i've alwas considered scriabin to be somewhat post-romantic era....does anyone know what i should do? or should i just email my question to the schools to which i will be auditioning?

1872-1915
He's typically considered romantic, although some of his later works exhibit contemporary style.

Yeah, late Romantic, doing his own thing.

Still tonal though, right?  Although he's stretching it?  Or was he one like Stravinksy that was starting to use cells?  I haven't listened to Scriabin in awhile.  I remember quartal harmonies.  What is it about his music that's border-line atonal, if not atonal with cells?

I also remember something else about his music.... (walks away while making cricket chirping noises)

Atthe point he wrote that etude he was High Romantic and very close in style to Rachmaninov from about the 5th sonata onwards he develops a new voice and from sonata 7 on he goes crazy!! That etudes is a funny one it can either be romantic or 20thC depending on whose marking you - it's worth checking. If you use it as your 20th C piece definately pair it with an Early romantic work. If you use it as 20th century then choose something very much non russian (ie Messiaen/Debussy/Schoenberg) so that there is a clear deliniation in your styles!
