Alexander Scriabin's 'Etude for piano in G major, Op. 65/3' is a solo piano piece that was composed in 1912. The piece was premiered by the composer himself in Moscow on December 12, 1912. The etude is part of a set of twelve etudes that Scriabin composed between 1908 and 1914. The 'Etude for piano in G major, Op. 65/3' is a relatively short piece, lasting just over two minutes. It is written in a fast tempo and is characterized by its virtuosic and technically demanding passages. The piece is in G major and is written in a free form, with no clear structure or recurring themes. The etude begins with a series of rapid arpeggios that are played in the right hand. These arpeggios are accompanied by a simple melody in the left hand. The piece then moves into a section that features a series of fast, chromatic runs in both hands. This section is followed by a slower, more lyrical passage that features a melody in the right hand accompanied by broken chords in the left hand. The final section of the etude is marked by a return to the fast, virtuosic passages that were featured earlier in the piece. The piece ends with a series of rapid arpeggios that are played in both hands. Overall, the 'Etude for piano in G major, Op. 65/3' is a challenging and technically demanding piece that showcases Scriabin's virtuosic piano writing. The piece is characterized by its fast tempo, rapid arpeggios, and chromatic runs, and is a testament to Scriabin's skill as a composer and pianist.
