Alexander Scriabin (1872 - 1915), a russian composer, was one of the most innovative and most controversial of early modern composers. He was influenced by synesthesia, and associated colours with the various harmonic tones of his atonal scale, while his colour-coded circle of fifths was also influenced by theosophy.

Morton Estrin (1923 - 2007) was an American classical pianist. He was a professor at Hofstra University and private teacher on Long Island, where he resided until his death. His students include John Mauceri, Billy Joel and Deborah Gibson.

Estrin is known for making the first-ever recording of Alexander Scriabin's complete Twelve Etudes, Op. 8, which he re-recorded in 1991. Both recordings reflect the hallmarks of Estrin's style - a robust tone, formidable technique and an unusually large and sophisticated tonal palette.
