Talk:Sonata No. 5 (Scriabin)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Tonality?

The page currently says "The piece, though nearly atonal, outlines a tonal sonata form." I'm not sure who wrote this, but the 5th Sonata is extremely and very clearly tonal, with the possible exception of the brief introductory theme that appears four times. Otherwise, everything is more or less clear-cut. An argument could be made that some sections look forward to his more experimental tonalities - the secondary theme involves some complex harmonies - but there's certainly no way that this sonata is "nearly atonal".
