Scriabin's Etudes come to mind.
Expression of and defining in some way of emotions is what classical music
(especially, to me) is about, isn't it? The beauty of our deepest chasm of
despair and our most exalted exuberant moments expressed artfully in music,
photography, fabric, quilts (the AIDS quilt) as well as many other mediums.
Respectfully,
