只要一提起亞歷山大．斯克里亞賓，就會聯想起他創造的"神祕和弦"和極不尋 常的作曲方式。為什麼他的音樂與眾不同；這些改革和創新的動機及原理從何而來。至於在 音樂中表情記號的目的是解釋音樂內容的依據，又為什麼斯克里亞賓的詮釋會如此超越傳統 。蕭邦是十九世紀的鋼琴詩人，大家對他的作品愛不釋手，斯克里亞賓更是以他為模仿的對 象，可是不久又為什麼要摒棄模仿，走出傳統。又斯克里亞賓不尋常的成長過程和思想觀念 的啟蒙對他所產生的影響等問題是值得探討的。研究者選擇斯克里亞賓早期、中期和晚期的 鋼琴奏鳴曲第二首、第五首及第十首，從創作者景、曲式結構、寫作技巧、演奏風格及作品 特色等理論來分析他的音樂觀。
Alexander Skryabin is a famous Russian composer and pianist, whose music is characterized by complex rhythms and innovative harmonies. He was born on January 6, 1872 in Moscow. He studied at the Moscow conservatory and later taught piano there. He died on April 27, 1915. He was a superb composer. He retreated from a definite tonality to create his own well-defined style. His ten piano sonatas not only demonstrated the traditional sonata form, but also exposed the most important elements of writing for piano by using the pedal to enrich, to blend and to sustain the sonority. He interpreted this resonance as a "Cathedral of sound." From 1902 on philosophical an mystical ideas, increasingly changed his thinking, his life and music. He became indulged with power, with omnipotence, a large ego and an unconquerable personality. However, the strange early upbringing caused Skryabin's later abnormal anxiety on excessively sensitiveness and fears. He believed that the world exists only in relation to his mind, and his creative works in his last year were decided by one very strict idea and unusually logical system. Skryabin was an unusual musician. Why is his music unique ﹖ Where did his revolutionary ideas come from ﹖ What was responsible for his extraordinary musical notions ﹖ How did he create his music ﹖ These questions stimulate Skryabin enthusiasts to search for answers. It is the aim of this paper to trace Skryabin's evolution as a composer through his sonatas numbers 2,5, and 10.
