i thought many members of this forum are very fond of scriabin, even more than Rachmaninov.

Can you specifiy one?

Op. 8 #12 and Op. 42 #5 are notoriously difficult, and I'd add Op. 8 #3 and Op. 42 #6 to that list. Op. 2 #2 and Op. 42 #3 are less taxing but diffcult to make interesting.

In general, if you have small hands, they're painful.

42/5 is almost definetly the hardest, and one of the very best too, awesome piece.

and 65/1 is worth a mention , and etude in 9ths...obviosuly impossible if you cant reach a 9th easily

I'll rank the ones that I've played (ascending difficulty):

op. 2 no. 1

op. 8 no. 12

op. 8 no. 3

I can only span a 9th and I did not find these etudes too difficult to learn.

theres 11ths in the LH of 8/12 im sure you are away, but you roll these?

8/3 is really cool, didnt look that hard from the sheets, what makes it difficult?

8/3 and 8/12 both have 10ths. I can't stand how they sound rolled though.

I can reach a 10th from D# to F# and from A# to C# and that's it.  Other 10ths I have to roll.

Yes, I roll the 11ths; if you roll them quickly you can distinguish them from the triplets.

I'd have to say the most difficult being Op. 65 #1 and #3.

op.8/7 sounds interesting
how difficult is it?
(comparing to other etudes)
