The 11th piece is structured with a three-layered texture: melody, inner voices, and bass. The chords in the inner voices require crossing hands, which evokes a certain kinship withSzymanowski'sEtude Op. 4 No. 3, also written in B-flat minor. It should be noted that Szymanowski's work was composed in the 1900s, at the dawn of the 20th century, and thus later than Scriabin's.
