Commentary on Skryabin has struggled to situate an understanding of
the composer's music within his idiosyncratic philosophical world
views. Early commentators' efforts to do so failed to establish a
thorough or systematic approach. And later twentieth-century
studies turned away from the composer's ideology, focusing instead
on 'the music itself' with an analytic approach that scrutinized
Skryabin's harmonic language in isolation from his philosophy. This
groundbreaking study revisits the questions surrounding the
composer's music within his own philosophy, but draws on new
methodological tools, casting Skryabin's music in the light not
only of his own philosophy of desire, but of more refined
semiotic-psychoanalytical theory and modern techniques of music
analysis. An interdisciplinary methodology corrects the narrow
focus of Skryabin scholarship of the last century, offering
insights from New Musicology and recent music theory that lead to
hermeneutical, critically informed readings of selected works.
