Advanced Piano Pieces by Alexander Scriabin

Alexander Scriabin for the advanced pianist

Advanced repertoire is the staple of conservatory and recital programming. It demands mastery of fast passagework, polyphonic clarity, large chordal writing, controlled rubato, and the structural understanding to hold a multi-movement work together. Years of focused study are normally required.

Alexander Scriabin began writing Chopin-influenced miniatures and ended his career inventing his own quasi-mystical harmonic system. His ten piano sonatas and many préludes trace the most idiosyncratic stylistic arc in the Russian keyboard literature.

The works below are drawn exclusively from Alexander Scriabin's output that fits the advanced-level technical and interpretive demands described above. They are sortable, downloadable as PDF score editions, and free to study, perform, record, and re-engrave under the public-domain status of the underlying compositions.

For pianists building a recital programme, exam syllabus, or sight-reading routine focused on a single composer at a chosen technical tier, this is the most direct way to navigate the catalogue. Cross-reference with the full Alexander Scriabin works list to see what sits a level above or below.
