Piano works were at the centre of Alexander Skrjabin's compositional output. As an outstanding pianist, he began writing mainly miniatures for his instrument in the style of Romantic piano pieces.

But it was also Skrjabin who, unlike any other composer of his generation, contributed to the continuation of the sonata tradition. Particular milestones in his output were Sonatas nos. 4 and 5 of 1903 and 1907, in which we hear forms and harmonies not heard previously.

When these works are occasionally given the name Poème Sonatas, this indicates that they stem from the time and allude to the compositional context of Skrjabin's daring orchestral works Le Divin Poème and Le Poème de l'exstase.
