Sonata No 3 (From old albums) was written in 1907 (the second edition was done in 1917). It was performed in Petrograd by the author in April 15, 1918. In the same year it was published by Gutcheil. After Prokofiev's words, “In spring the Third was remade; the whole technique changed for the piano, it grew more «1uxurious» and something was altered in the development section and in the recapitulation, but the general layout stayed unchanged”.
