Music from the dark side, Sonata 9 known as the "Black Mass". Scriabin performed it frequently and was said to look away from the piano during the final march; said he saw visions of "walking nightmares" and was "practicing sorcery".

From Wikipedia: In 1963, Stravinsky stated in a conversation with American conductor Robert Craft in their book Dialogues and a Diary (1963) that the Concerto is perhaps my Favorite among my purely instrumental pieces.[1] Stravinsky claimed to have been inspired by variations by Brahms and Beethoven and, especially, by Beethovens fugues.
Academics like to point to the first movement as an early use of metric modulation; yeah, big deal. Stravinsky Concerto for 2 pianos](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UEkhOUKXR9I/mqdefault.jpg)
