Samuil Feinberg's Piano Sonata No. 3, Op. 3 is one of his longest and most substantial sonatas, consisting of three movements and typically lasting around 23 minutes. The work, written in 1916 to 1917, was not initially published, and its second and third movements were instead recycled in his Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 20. Thanks to efforts by Anatoly Alexandrov, the sonata was finally published in 1974.

The Third Sonata is a masterpiece, featuring an innovative three-movement formal structure of 'Prelude,' 'Funeral March' and the 'Sonata' itself. The 'Funeral March' is a titanic force of despondency comparable to Liszt's darker works and Scriabin's 'Funebre' movement from his First Sonata. Feinberg employs a variety of musical symbols, including a 'Death' motif (a stark and effective use of fifths) that later becomes the main thematic thread of the 'Sonata' movement, which is an unbelievable 13-minute 'Allegro appassionato' of stupefying virtuosity. The 'Sonata' has a dense texture and constant motion that truly requires a rare brand of virtuosity. The technical challenges can be heard; they are jaw-dropping. But if that wasn't enough of an obstacle for the pianist, there is the unrelenting cerebral complexity and emotional angst to interpret and convey. Christophe Sirodeau calls this 'Sonata' movement 'a veritable hurricane of destruction.'
