Alexander N. Scriabin (1872–1915) like P.I. Tchaikovsky was the first among Russian composers who even during his lifetime became very famous and attained universal recognition.

Many cities of Russia and those of foreign countries – Moscow, St. Petersburg, London, Paris, New York, Brussels, etc. – witnessed the triumph of the premieres of his pieces and concerts.

The memory in the form of open letters on the composer's residence in many different places has been well preserved in the archives of the Moscow Memorial Museum named after him. By virtue of those letters one could trace the geography of musical travels carried out by the great author of "Poem of Ecstasy".
