Thought in words, music, colour
View through CrossRef
The content and style of Skryabin’s verse and influences upon it are examined and its relation to its music discussed. Two major works are examined: The Poem of Ecstasy, which was conceived simultaneously in words and in music, is analysed according to an interpretation by Boris de Schloezer, Skryabin’s close associate. Schloezer proposes a Lisztian/Wagnerian system of leading motives as the link between poetry and music. Prometheus, which combines music, colour, and one hidden ‘mystic word’, is examined and the relation of its structure and tonality to colour and to philosophy analysed. The recently deciphered significance of the ‘mystic word’ and its use is recounted. (103)
