It's said that Scriabin never performed this song publicly. He said he feared its darkness.

Thanks for the Scri postings trueC.

@truecrypt True... Music that doesn't proceed by a Dominant-Tonic or a similar pathway, it is by definition atonal!
-
@TheAntipl The sheet music shows no signature. Since its clearly not in C-major that means it has no traditional key, so you could say its atonal. I agree however that it is certainly not a 12-tone work.
-
You're absolutely correct. Many of Scriabin's later works do not have a key signature, simply because he rarely (during this period) worked within an established tonal paradigm. He was more of a "painter" of music than a composer in the traditional sense. Richard Strauss might be Scriabin's closest analogue in the tonal realm.
Many of Franz Liszt's later works, such as the "Bagatelle sans tonalité," may also give the illusion of tonality, but in fact, they are atonal.

What's the key of this sonata??
markopianist 3 years ago
No key - atonal.

@truecrypt You have to be crazy to think this is atonal. It has tonality, just not in the traditional sense.

@TheAntipl
Well... I may be crazy, but what non-traditional tonality this sonata is in?
I hope you can enlighten an old and crazy man...

@truecrypt Scriabin created his own tonality based on a chord he called the "Mystic Chord". Everything in this sonata revolves around it -- it's the center of the harmonic motion, and because the harmonic motion has a center, the piece is tonal.

Sorry for late reply - I was traveling...
Though you have a point, I think you're not entirely correct. Yes, Scriabin created his own harmonic/tonal system, but (as you point in your OP) "not in traditional sense". The initial question was - what is the key/tonality of this sonata and in *traditional sense* there is no key. Word "atonal" means not only "no tonality", but includes non-traditional harmonic structures.
