I really hate those losers who are like, 'well you can't say which piece is harder!  It's all subjective!'.

But I'm going to be one anyways.

It's subjective.

hmmm... Unfortunately, yes, it is.
By the way, if you want to start learning one of them, you have to know that both sonatas require high level of technical and musical abilities and it depends on you! You can just try the one you like more! ;)

All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
