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, Op. 6
• Sonata No. 2 in G sharp minor, Op. 19 (also known as Sonata-Fantasy)
• Sonata No. 3 in F sharp minor, Op. 23
• Sonata No. 4 in F sharp major, Op. 30
• Sonata No. 5 in F sharp major, Op. 53
• Sonata No. 6, Op. 62
• Sonata No. 7 "White Mass Sonata", Op. 64
• Sonata No. 8, Op. 66
• Sonata No. 9 "Black Mass Sonata", Op. 68
• Sonata No. 10, Op. 70

Other works for piano

Some of Scriabin's other major works for piano include:

• Fantasy in B minor, Op.28
• Vers la flamme, Op.72

Scriabin wrote a large number of short pieces, including preludes, etudes, and poems. Particularly popular short pieces include:

• Etude in D sharp minor, Op. 8, No. 12
• Etude in C sharp minor, Op. 2, No. 1

Orchestral works

• Piano Concerto in F sharp minor, Op. 20
• Reverie, Op. 24
• Symphony No. 1 in E major, Op. 26
• Symphony No. 2 in C minor, Op. 29
• Symphony No. 3 "The Divine Poem" in C minor, Op. 43
• Symphony No. 4 "Poem of Ecstasy", Op. 54
• Prometheus: Poem of Fire, Op. 60

Catalog of works

Nearly all of Scriabin's works have opus numbers. His work can be divided into three (somewhat arbitrary) periods, based on increasing atonality: early, Opus 1-29; middle, Opus 30-53; and late, Opus 54-74.

Note: this is under heavy construction!
