Absolute Scriabin. Scriabin and Strauss

Sometimes, in discussions about Alexander Scriabin, the word "absolute" comes up in a figurative sense. The composer was deeply interested in mysticism and theosophy. He saw art (and music in particular) as a powerful tool for the spiritual transformation of humanity. In this context, the "absolute" is the very idea of searching for the highest, universal truth through creativity.
