Piano Sonata No. 6 (Scriabin)
Piano sonata written by Alexander Scriabin / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Piano Sonata No. 6, Op. 62, by Alexander Scriabin was composed in 1911. Although it was named the sixth sonata, the piece was preceded by the Sonata No. 7. As it is one of the late piano sonatas of Scriabin's career, the music consists of a single movement and is almost atonal, although it is sometimes listed as being in the key of G.[1] Scriabin reportedly never played the sonata in public, because he feared its darkness.
It received its premiere on 19 March 1912 in Moscow by Elena Bekman-Shcherbina.[1]
