List of works by Scriabin - Definition

Notable pieces

Piano Sonatas

Scriabin wrote 10 sonatas for piano. The first three are in the Romantic style, following Chopin but showing much of Scriabin's originality. With the fourth sonata, Scriabin was exploring more complex, chromatic harmonies. The fifth sonata is partly atonal, and all following sonatas are fully atonal and sometimes highly dissonant. Vers la flamme was intended to be the eleventh sonata, but he was forced to publish it early due to financial concerns. Beginning with the fifth, Scriabin's sonatas consisted of only a single movement.

• Sonata No. 1 in F minor
• Sonata No. 2 in G sharp minor (also known as Sonata-Fantasy)
• Sonata No. 3 in F sharp minor
• Sonata No. 4 in F sharp major
• Sonata No. 5
• Sonata No. 6
• Sonata No. 7 "White Mass Sonata"
• Sonata No. 8
• Sonata No. 9 "Black Mass Sonata"
• Sonata No. 10

Catalog of works

Note: this is under heavy construction!
