SCRIABIN, Alexander Nikolayevich (1872-1915). Autograph musical quotation signed ('A. Scriabine'), n.d., the opening theme of the piano sonata no.10, op. 70, 8 bars on two staves (three for the last two bars), one page, 173 x 255mm, mounted (light browning, more marked at margins, loss to lower left corner).
'My tenth sonata is a sonata of insects ...'. Scriabin's highly demanding tenth piano sonata of 1913, his last in the form, introduces the atonal tendencies of his late style; unlike the majority of his sonatas, it is, however, faithful to traditional sonata form.
