There are these strange markings in Scriabin's etude in D-sharp minor that I don't understand how to play. There are these octaves with a note just before the octave and its played as a chord altogether in the recordings. I don't get how to play them properly because they are so confusing. Am a supposed to play them as a chord but hold it for different time depending on the time sign of the individual notes? If so why are octaves that have the exact same time marking as the note that come right before still marked like that? Why isn't it just written down as a chord? How do I play these and interpret them all correctly? Does the spaced out note last longer or shorter? I'm super confused.
