Piano Sonata No. 5, Op. 53

Piano Sonata No. 5, Op. 53 by Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915). Edited by Michael Schneidt and Valentina Rubcova. Henle Music Folios. Softcover. 40 pages. G. Henle #HN1111. Published by G. Henle.

Composed at the same time as Scriabin's great poem for orchestra “Le Poème de l'extase.” Both works are based on the same literary program. Scriabin spent a long time honing the text, which represents his philosophic idea of the development of the world in poetic form, until its publication in a separate volume in 1906.
