Pentameters for Scriabin

 

Scriabin was influenced by synesthesia, and associated colors with the various harmonic tones of his atonal scale.... - Wikipedia


Scriabin’s modulations move so quickly

That there are those who say it makes them sickly.

There is no cure, no musical magnesia

To counteract Scriabin’s synaesthesia.
