Etude Op. 8 No. 12 (Scriabin)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The opening of Étude Op. 8, No. 12 features the large jumps the left hand must make.

The Etude Op. 8 No. 12, a piano work by Alexander Scriabin in D-sharp minor, features treacherous stretches, unmerciful left-hand work, and abundant octaves. A particular favorite among pianists and audiences alike.

The dramatic leitmotif and moving recitative of the solo in the upper voices on the chordal background is characteristic for Scriabin's early creations.[1]

This piece was a favorite encore of Vladimir Horowitz.
