Step into the dramatic and psychological landscape of Alexander Scriabin's Piano Sonata No. 3. Composed between 1897 and 1898, this monumental work marks a pivotal transition in Scriabin's output. While still reflecting the influence of Chopin and Liszt, it begins to unveil the composer's burgeoning philosophical and mystical leanings.
Unlike the two-movement Sonata-Fantasy, the Third Sonata is a rigorous four-movement cycle that Scriabin titled "States of Soul" (Etats d'ame), representing the struggle and eventual liberation of the human spirit.
This edition is a reissue of music originally published by Muzgiz, Moscow.
