Hey guys, long time no post. How is everybody? My question is about Scriabin's etudes in D# minor op.8#12 and C#minor op.42#5. These seem really difficult, but I really want a challenge. I was wondering if anyone has played both of these and could tell me which one is more difficult and could compare their difficulty to other repertoire. Thanks guys. P.S. I am now attending Colgate University and was chosen by the piano department head to take private lessons with him - as you can tell I'm really excited.
42-5 is awesome... and 8-12 is. 8-5 and 8-10 are decent. I confess to not like the rest of them that much.
What is this with op 42 no 5 ? It's very hard to play, especially if you want it to sound as music, but what is the appeal of it? I think, it's one of Scriabin's worst pieces.

You, sir, are dead to me.
Is it possible that you have just not heard a good recording of it? Op.42 No.5 is a great work!
Besided the Etudes mentioned above, I also really like Op. 8 No. 7 and Op. 8 No. 11For a good recording of Op. 42 No. 5; listen to the performance by Piers Lane. Download it here:https://download.yousendit.com/501F1044592808FD

Exactly, I never heard a convincing recording of op.42 no5And when I play it myself, it doesn't convince me either.Why do you think, it's a great work?
OK NOW I'M ANGRYI ASKED TONES OF TIME FROM USERS HERE TO TELL ABOUT THE OTHERS ETUDESBUT IT SEEMS THAT NO ONE ACTUALLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT OTHER ETUDES OF SCRIABIN ETUDES EXCEPT FOR 12-8 AND 42-5?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!!!DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNBLAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Just one question: has anyone here ever tried to avoid the more unpleasant left hand upward jumps in the 12-8 by redistributing the notes (take them with the right hand) over the two hands?Works fine for me.
However, 42-5 and 42-6 are very much impossible for me. Tough left hand score for the 42-8 too (I have heard much faking of the left hand in 42-8, even by the very best of pianists).
Eh? I always though 65-1 was the hardest o.O
