Not Far from the Tree

 

In the last year of his life he wrote four preludes in his father's style, the authorship of which is questioned by some researchers. -- Wikipedia


Julian Scriabin, the son of Alexander,

Wrote several pieces, of which, in all candor,

We can guess that they'd still be unknown

If he had composed them completely alone.
