Sonata No. 5 (Scriabin)

The fifth piano sonata (Opus 53) written by Scriabin in 1907 marks the end of his Romantic period and the beginning of his atonal period. The piece consist of three main themes, which intertwine and evolve throughout the piece: the dissonant trill and glissando of the opening, a slow, languishing theme, and then a dance-like presto. This is Scriabin's most recorded sonata. A typical performance is about 11-12 minutes.

The piece, though atonal, is or outlines a tonal sonata-form.
