The edition is based on the collection of 24 А. N. Scriabin's Preludes, op. 11, edited by К. N. Igumnov (М.; L.: State Music Publishers, 1947).
The editor, а splendid pianist and а contemporary of the composer, took Scriabin's own masterly performances into consideration. He also forsaw the posibility of young performers' working оп these compositions. The large quantity of footnotes indicates the editor's scrupulously attentive treatment of the original works.
