Scriabin - Étude Op. 8, No. 12

I used to cry while listening to this piece because it filled me with emotions, but now that I learned it, I cry for a different reason. Kissin has the best interpretation IMO, but Horowitz`s has something special.

Here's mine:

Hey Koopakool,

This is one of my favorite pieces!
Very nice playing, I liked the tempo and the expression. I liked your build-up at the chord section.

A few thoughts:
In measures 4, 6 and 8 you accent the 2nd beat but that doesn't sound very good to me. I would play that note softer as an extension of the 1st.

In measure 9, you have 2 against 3 but I don't hear them very well. Again later in the piece at the chord section.

Middle section could be a bit slower but that is entirely personal.

Greetings,
