Scriabin's 24 preludes were modeled after Frédéric Chopin's own set of 24 Preludes, Op. 28: they also covered all 24 major and minor keys and they follow the same key sequence: C major, A minor, G major, E minor, D major, B minor and so on, alternating major keys with their relative minors, and following the ascending circle of fifths.
This set, which covers a period of eight years and comprises Scriabin's largest collection of keyboard works, and as such contains a wide sampling of the music from his early years. These preludes are often played in piano recitals, since it features preludes ranging from very easy to difficult.
