alexander scriabin
He is most known for a series of orchestral tone poems beginning with his orchestration of a movement of a string quartet ''“Kathaleen-ni-Hoolihan”'' in 1905, followed by ''“In the Twilight”'' in 1908, with others continuing at intervals into the 1940s. One of these, ''“Tintagel”'' (from 1917) is one of the great orchestral evocations of the sea and is his best known work. He wrote much other music for orchestra including seven symphonies, and concertante music (music for solo instrument(s) and orchestra – as a concerto) for piano, [[violin]], [[cello]], [[viola]], and [[harp]]. A ''“Concertante”'' for [[Cor Anglais|cor anglais]], [[clarinet]] and [[French Horn|horn]] shows his willingness to explore.

He wrote a prodigious amount of [[chamber music]] of every conceivable combination of instruments and ranging from sonatas to 9 soloists. This includes a number of four-hand piano pieces. A fine pianist himself (though rarely appearing in public) he wrote 7 sonatas for the instrument and many shorter pieces, some with rather interesting names. Much of his piano music is influenced by [[Scriabin]].
