The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

Hard to rate.
Let's say that Scriabin seemed obsessed with providing "painful" left hands. It does not get any better in later op.

Horowitz's playing is amazing and beautiful, but nothing insane there. Personally I think Scriabin wrote etudes a lot harder than this one. It is hard but far from insane. Sorabji is insane

Scriabin is hard
