The Piano Sonata No. 2 in F♯ minor, Op. 2 of Johannes Brahms was written in Hamburg, Germany in 1852, and published the year after.
 Despite being his second published work, it was actually composed before his Piano Sonata No. 1, but was published later because Brahms recognized the importance of an inaugural publication and felt that the C major sonata was of higher quality.
 It was sent along with his first sonata to Breitkopf und Härtel with a letter of recommendation from Robert Schumann.
 Schumann had already praised Brahms enthusiastically, and the sonata shows signs of an effort to impress, with its technical demands and highly dramatic nature.
 It was dedicated to Clara Schumann.
The Piano Sonata No. 24 in F-sharp major, Op. 78, nicknamed "à Thérèse" (because it was written for Countess Thérèse von Brunswick) was written by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1809.
 It consists of two movements:
The Piano Sonata No. 3 in F minor, Op. 5 of Johannes Brahms was written in 1853 and published the following year.
 The sonata is unusually large, consisting of five movements, as opposed to the traditional three or four.
 When he wrote this piano sonata, the genre was seen by many to be past its heyday.
 Brahms, enamored of Beethoven and the classical style, composed Piano Sonata No. 3 with a masterful combination of free Romantic spirit and strict classical architecture.
 As a further testament to Brahms' affinity for Beethoven, the Piano Sonata is infused with the instantly recognizable motive from Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 during the first, third, and fourth movements.
 Composed in Düsseldorf, it marks the end of his cycle of three sonatas, and was presented to Robert Schumann in November of that year; it was the last work that Brahms submitted to Schumann for commentary.
 Brahms was barely 20 years old at its composition.
 The piece is dedicated to Countess Ida von Hohenthal of Leipzig.
Piano Sonata No. 15 in D major, Op. 28, is a piano sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven.
 The name Pastoral or Pastorale became known through A. Cranz publishing of Beethoven's work, but was first coined by a London publisher, Broderip & Wilkinson.
 While not as famous as its immediate predecessor, Piano Sonata No. 14, it is generally admired for its intricate technicality as well as for its beauty.
 The sonata takes roughly twenty-five minutes to play with its intended repeats.
Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin ( ; Russian: Алекса́ндр Никола́евич Скря́бин , ] ; 6 January 1872 [O.S. 25 December 1871] – 27 April [O.S. 14 April] 1915 ) was a Russian composer and pianist.
 Scriabin, who was influenced early in his life by the works of Frédéric Chopin, composed works that are characterised by a highly tonal idiom (these works are associated with his "first stage" of compositional output).
 Later in his career, independently of Arnold Schoenberg, Scriabin developed a substantially atonal and much more dissonant musical system, which accorded with his personal brand of mysticism.
 Scriabin was influenced by synesthesia, and associated colours with the various harmonic tones of his atonal scale, while his colour-coded circle of fifths was also influenced by theosophy.
 He is considered by some to be the main Russian Symbolist composer.
The Piano Sonata, sometimes also referred to as Sonata for Piano or in its original French form, Sonate pour piano, is a 1924 piano sonata by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky.
The Piano Sonata No. 4 in F-sharp major, Op. 30, was written by Alexander Scriabin in 1903.
 It consists of two movements, "Andante" and "Prestissimo volando", and is the shortest of Scriabin's sonatas (a typical performance takes about 8 minutes).
The Grand Piano Sonata in G major, Op.
 37, was written by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1878.
 Though initially received with critical acclaim, the sonata has struggled to maintain a solid position in the modern repertoire.
 Nevertheless, the sonata has been recorded numerous times and is recognized as one of the composer's masterworks.
 It is dedicated to Karl Klindworth.
Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 3 in C major, Op. 2, No. 3, is a sonata written for solo piano, composed in 1795.
 It is dedicated to Joseph Haydn and is often referred to as Beethoven's first virtuosic piano sonata.
 The three Opus 2 sonatas all contain four movements each, an unusual length which seems to show that Beethoven was aspiring towards composing a symphony.
 It is both the weightiest and longest of the three Opus 2 sonatas, lasting over 25 minutes, presenting many difficulties, including difficult trills, awkward hand movements, and forearm rotation.
 It is Beethoven's second longest piano sonata in his early period, only to Beethoven's Grand Sonata in E-flat Major, Op. 7, published a year later.
Quatre études (Four Studies), Op. 7 is a collection of short études for piano by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky.
 It was finished between June and July 1908 and was composed in Ustyluh, Ukraine.
 It is one of his major early works for piano, which were preceded only by his Piano Sonata in F-sharp minor.
