i have just finished scriabin 2nd sonata :). doing some polishing in some places but it goes fine.
which pieces should i study next? which are about the same or a bit above the level of this sonata?
i like the romantic period, so my teacher suggested my chopin polonaise op.44
what do you think? do you have other suggestions?

That polonaise is a cool piece.  Maybe Brahms Op. 116.  You could try out some Medtner Fairy Tales. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

What did you play right before or during your experience learning the second sonata?  I'm thinking of tackling a full scriabin sonata, just wanted to know what else you've been playing along with it :D
Interested in discussing:

-Prokofiev Toccata
-Scriabin Sonata 2

i played some other scriabin pieces (3 preludes from op.11)
mendelssohn fantasy in f# minor (its 3rd movement is actually as difficult as the 2nd movement of the scriabin 2nd sonata)
some schumann fantasy pieces...
