4 early Piano Sonatas by Scriabin???
on: October 25, 2017, 09:20:17 PM
While reading notes of a recording, I noticed mention of FOUR "early attempts" at the sonata form that Scriabin produced.  Two of these are op. posth. sonatas that I'm aware of:  Sonata-famtasie in G-sharp minor and the Sonata in E-flat minor WoO 16.  Both of these are available through IMSLP Petrucci music library online.
Does anyone know of the other 2 early "op. posth." sonatas by Scriabin?  And possibly where one could acquire a printed copy of the music?
Thanks for any info or suggestion how I might hunt for these works.

I am pretty sure if they exist that they are in this book i have in score somewhere in my music room, I recall it was a spiral bound book, looked like a small time publisher, had tons of cool hard to find u common pieces including revisions Or pre revision versions if stuff and awesome fragments, it had th unfinished Scriabin Ballade in there too, cannot revel name but I should be able to dif it out and update this reply.

If they are not in that volume,  I ha e no idea, thay books contains exceptionally amd exceedingly rare pieces,  it's an important volume
