Scriabin was the only child in a family which had an aristocratic background.

Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin [1] (Moscow, 6 January —Moscow, 27 April ) is a Russian composer and pianist who initially created a highly lyrical.

He was always proud of having been born on Christmas Day (6 January is Christmas Day in the Russian Orthodox church). His mother died when he was a year old and his father spent most of his time abroad working as a diplomat.

He was looked after by his aunt, grandmother and great-aunt, all of whom fussed over him so that he was a very spoilt child. When he grew up he was very short and his hands could only just stretch one octave (eight notes) on the piano.
