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Before his official Piano Sonata No. 1, Myaskovsky composed four or five unpublished piano sonatas.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 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.
