Bach, out of his mind with grief after the sudden death of his wife (not to mention his siblings, parents and half of his 21 kids), wrote this piece for solo violin. Busoni later arranged it for piano.

Étude in D-sharp minor, Op. 8 No. 12, is an étude for piano composed by Alexander Scriabin in 1894. It features many technical challenges, including treacherous stretches with intervals up to an eleventh, numerous jumps in the left hand, repetitive chord strikes, and abundant octaves. It is a particular favorite among pianists and audiences alike. This piece was a favorite encore of Vladimir Horowitz.
The dramatic motive and moving recitative of the solo in the upper voices on the chordal background is characteristic of Scriabin's early creations. The right hand is always playing octaves except for the piece's ending. Similarly, the left hand is continually jumping around until the final chord is struck.
