Num 12 "Patetico" is my favorite and probably the most difficult of the set.

Why? mmm its so mysterius but also very passionate IMO

Number 5 is the only one I've played.  More difficult than it sounds, unless you play it like Richter, who first got me hooked on this piece by playing it much slower than Scriabin's marking (Brioso 80/half).  At that tempo, it sounds 'romantic' - otherwise, it sounds slightly obsessed, almost obscene (in a good way).  I have never heard this piece played at its 'proper' tempo, except by myself.  I think people play it slowly because they're scared of hitting wrong notes.  I know I can't avoid these, so I play it fast anyway.

I also like number 9 in g-sharp minor.  Really underappreciated - probably because Horowitz didn't play it, if I recall correctly.

Number 12 is also good.

Actually, I like all of them.  So original and so fantastic.

I think nr. 10 is quite funny, but I love nr. 8 and nr. 11  :)

Nr. 12 sounds very complicated and passionate!
