Piano music Before his official Piano Sonata No. 1, Myaskovsky composed four or five unpublished piano sonatas. One of these was orchestrated as the Overture for small orchestra, and two more were revised in 1944 to become the official Sonatas Nos. 5 and 6.From about 1907 to 1919, Myaskovsky wrote dozens of short piano pieces as studies or exploratory drafts: he provisionally collected these in eight (unpublished) albums and referred to them collectively as ''Flofion'' or by the diminutive ''Flofionchiki'', an apparently made-up word meaning something like 'Frolics' or 'Whimsies'. Several of these were re-worked into the published piano collections Opp. 25, 29, 31, 78 and the orchestral suite Op. 65, while others provided movements – e.g. the slow movement of Piano Sonata No. 4 – or thematic material for later chamber and orchestral works. * Sonata No. 1 in D minor, Op. 6 (1907)* Sonata No. 2 in F♯ minor, Op. 13 (1912)* Sonata No. 3 in C minor, Op. 19 (1920; second, much altered version 1939)* Sonata No. 4 in C minor, Op. 27 (1924, rev. 1945)* ''Whimsies'' (''Prichudi''), 6 sketches, Op. 25 (1917–19, rev. 1923)*''Reminiscences'' (''Vospominaniya''), 6 pieces, Op. 29 (1907-8; rev. 1927)* ''Yellowed Leaves'' (''Pozheltevshiye Straniytsi''), 6 Pieces, Op. 31 (1907–19, rev. 1928)* Three compositions, Op. 43** No. 1 10 very elementary pieces for piano (1938)** No. 2 ''Four Easy Pieces in Polyphonic Setting'' (1907, revised 1938)** No. 3 ''Simple Variations'' in D major (Lyric Suite for Piano) (1908, revised 1937)* Sonatina in E minor, Op. 57 (1941)* ''Song and Rhapsody'' (later called ''Prelude and Rondo-Sonata''), Op. 58 (1942)* Sonata No. 5 in B major, Op. 64, No. 1 (1944 revision of early sonata of 1907)* Sonata No. 6 in A♭ major, Op. 64, No. 2 (1944 revision of early sonata)* ''Stylisations'', nine pieces in the forms of ancient dances, Op. 73 (1946)* ''From the Past'', six improvisations for piano, Op. 74 (1947, final version of piano pieces from 1906/07)* ''Polyphonic Sketches'', Op. 78 (1947)* Sonata No. 7 in C major, Op. 82 (1948)* Sonata No. 8 in D minor, Op. 83 (1949)* Sonata No. 9 in F major, Op. 84 (1949)
