Ullman's seven Piano Sonatas were written between 1936 and 1944. Though rediscovered as recently as 1990; they are now available in a number of recordings.

Neo-classical in approach; the piano writing and the use of polytonality places them closer to Skriabin and Prokofiev than to the works of Ullman's teachers Arnold Schoenberg and Alois Hába • this applies also to the Piano Concerto; written during the same period. The numerous quotes from Mozart; Wagner; Mahler; and Dukas to folksongs and tunes from operettas are particulary interesting in this context.
