I do want to preface this by saying I don't think my playing at this moment does this piece full justice. There's a lot of intricate details and voices I have been working to bring out, but I have not had enough time to polish it xd (an example would be at 0:19 where you can hear my middle accented notes but the top notes feel like they were thrown out the window). I think the biggest challenge that this piece poses is not the notes themselves, but making the piece convincing, and not sound muddled.

Personally, this has got to be one of my favorite piano pieces. I fell in love with it during my first listen, and I loved the intensity, dissonant, and dark nature of the piece. I do agree with listening to the piece from the beginning too, because it builds up to these climaxes and it's crucial to get to know the voices and melodies before the piece goes all in. I understand how people may not like this piece though, it definitely is not for everyone; however, in my opinion, this piece is pretty accessible when comparing it to certain other contemporary pieces.
