What is it about the piece that makes you say about movie music?
It reminded me of some some movie musicWhat is it about the piece that makes you say about movie music?
I like, eg, Alien (Jerry Goldsmith). It felt like
program music that's not wedded to a program.
Note:
I know nothing about music, so I can't describe
it in any meaningful way.

Pretty much my level of expertise, though I notice you refer to "program music" so not quite nothing.

It's funny you said about Smellovision; I've seen it suggested that Scriabin had synesthesia.
That would be an interesting affliction.

Yes. As well as being a composer, he was a pianist. The great majority of his music was for piano. A search for "Scriabin keyboard" brings this up:

@Secret Chief, I just discovered this excellent music, please listen to it, I think you'll love it as much as I do.

Thanks for posting. It is very nice, it's quite well known. If you like this, you might like some other composers of the same period, such as Telemann.

Rediscovering Shostakovich. Piano is my favourite for classical, but SQ comes a close second.

I've had an album of music by Berg for quite some time and didn't feel inclined to listen to it very often and then I put it on a few days ago and it was like "Where have you been all my life?"
Unfortunately he died relatively young of sepsis (as did Scriabin) so there is not a great deal for me to explore; but I've started. Pretty confident this is of no interest to anybody but there you go.

Listening to Bacewicz a lot still. Great music, simple as.

I tend towards the Baroque and Classical eras, I also like a few in the Renaissance, but they are few and far between after the classical era. But there are some I truly enjoy
Renaissance (c. 1400-c. 1600)
Baroque (c. 1600-c. 1750)
Classical (c. 1750-c. 1830)

Bach is thought of as a keyboard player but I understand he was also an accomplished violinist. He certainly knew how to write to show the skill of a string player.
One of my brothers learned the A Minor concerto for his Grade 6 violin. My mother accompanied on the piano. This taught me, a non-player, quite a bit about the technical challenges. I‘ve enjoyed violin performances ever since.
