The works of his that have been recorded and are performed today include his contributions to several collaborative projects of the "Belyayev circle", including for instance the set of character pieces for string quartet known as ''Les Vendredis'', and a set of variations for piano and orchestra on a Russian theme. Other works include a quintet opus 3, also arranged for string orchestra as a serenade; opus 5 (final chorus from Tolstoi's ''Don Juan''); opus 12 (choruses for women's voices, published 1892); piano variations (opus 25); variations on a popular Russian theme for string quartet published in 1899. There are also three String Quartet s, in F major, A major and D minor, and a String Trio in D minor, his opus 45 (published in 1916). All of these were published by Belyayev's firm. It is possible, as noted here that when Diaghilev was looking for a composer for The Firebird , that Sokolov was considered, after Anatoly Lyadov had failed to deliver, and before finally Stravinsky was settled on. This tale is also told in Stephen Walsh's Stravinsky biography. EXTERNAL LINKS
