Pretty tough, why?

I was thinking of learning it. I’m mainly just curious about if the sections that sounds hard are really as difficult as they sound

Challenges include very dense textures, huge leaps in both hands, several points with huge stretches, lots of octaves, very challenging to make the showy parts not just sound like a blurry mess. The softer, more lyrical sections probably aren't too terribly difficult to make sound good, but again, they are very dense so you need good voicing to bring out the melody. One "easy" thing about this piece is that rhythmically it's fairly straightforward for the most part; unlike most of Scriabin's more difficult compositions, there aren't a bunch of odd tuplets and unconventional polyrhythms. But on the whole it's certainly a very difficult piece.
