《降b調第二鋼琴奏鳴曲》Piano Sonata No.2 in b-flat Minor Op.36，作於1913年1月到8月間，題獻給馬特維·里奧泰爾維奇·普列斯曼（Matvey Leontyevich Presman）。同年12月由拉赫瑪尼諾夫在莫斯科親自首演。1931年，很可能是受新古典主義的斯特拉文斯基的影響，而且覺得某些部分織體過於復雜，於是他徹底的修改了這部作品，現今演奏的大多數都是修改後的版本。這部作品的結構規模龐大，在浪漫主義鋼琴奏鳴曲作品中享有牢固的地位。這是一首飽含深情且熱情洋溢，既有冥想的氣質又有些狂野，有著獨一無二的俄羅斯風格的作品。這部作品炫技的難度令人瞠目結舌，似乎要求演奏家多長幾根手指才可以應付過來。拉赫瑪尼諾夫的作品，十分強調聲部的交織，除了旋律之外，內聲部常暗藏著與旋律相呼應或相對立的元素，需要細膩的處理。
這首鋼琴奏鳴曲有三個樂章，通常連續演奏。整曲由開始的主題貫穿，第二主題也在第二樂章中有新的發展。第一樂章，降b小調的和聲色彩為中心，表現了鐘聲的特點，主題可能表現了人類慘淡的命運。第二樂章，從寧靜的沉思一直發展到狂熱的激情，然後消失在E大調無與倫比的美麗結束。第三樂章，以急速下行的彈奏開始，並以一個狂熱的華爾茲旋律為主導。最後整首奏鳴曲以升B大調勝利的輝煌結束。對於這部作品，拉赫瑪尼諾夫說道：“我想讓我的音樂簡單而直接地訴說我作曲時的內心感受。如果那裡有愛、痛苦或悲傷，也可能是宗教的虔誠，這些情感成為我作品中的一部分，並且它會變得同樣美麗、痛苦、悲傷或虔誠。因為作曲就像是呼吸和吃飯一樣成為了我生活的一部分，我作曲是為了給我的思想以表達的機會。"
