Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1.Highly regarded in his native Russia as both pianist and composer, Scriabin was greatly influenced in his youthful compositions by the music of both Chopin and Liszt, but in his later years developed a deeply mystical and radically innovative musical style and sound which remains unique to itself.
The Two Poems, op. 32, while miniature in scope, clearly evidence the lingering influence of Liszt and Chopin; equally evident however is the composer's recognizably individual, radiantly colorful, musical voice.
2.A young colleague of Scriabin's at the Moscow Conservatory, Rachmaninoff fled Russia following the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, achieving world-wide acclaim as composer and conductor while at the same time enthusiastically heralded as one of the preeminent pianists of the 20th-century.
Two selections from the Fantasy Pieces, op. 3, are included on this program: the Prelude in csharp minor, subtitled "Bells of Moscow"; and Polichinelle, a boisterous depiction of the traditional comic character found within the commedia dell'arte folk theater tradition.
Rachmaninoff composed two sets of Preludes for piano (op. 23 and op. 32), both written when at the pinnacle of his compositional creativity. The three selections included on this program exemplify the wide range of emotional content and virtuosic challenges found in these works, which Rachmaninoff performed frequently in his own concert performances.
