Love the analysis of the 4th movement, however I am surprised you dislike the first! Sure, it's quite bangy with all of those octaves from the first theme, but the second theme is one of my favorites from Scriabin.
Scriabin Sonata 3 mvmt 4 is his sonata movement which I like the least. The practice of repeating a soft theme intensely in the climax is executed better in Symphony 3 (Divin Poeme) because the thematic material is more pleasant in the final movement of the symphony. I find the "Theme 1" of the fourth movement of sonata 3 to be the most cacophonous theme which Scriabin ever wrote. And it's cool how the mvmt 3 theme was able to make a comeback, but honestly it sounds kind of forced and it clashes with the crazy mvmt 4 theme (no cohesion). The mvmt 3 theme as played in mvmt 4 covers 3 measures where the same thematic material covered a single measure in mvmt 3. This means that 6 measures are needed to repeat the basic rhythmic motif of movement 3 (I bring up the rhythmic motif instead of the theme in its entirety because the theme of movement 3 isn't even played entirely in the climax). But the rhythmic motif of the mvmt 4 theme is based on sets of 2 measures, not 6. And this theme is started on the third measure (not including the leading measure of course, which should be thought of as such because of the leading beat of the theme in mvmt 3) of the recap of mvmt 3 theme. This leaves 3 measures for a rhythmic motif which is based on groups of 2 measures. Sounds lopsided and my mind can't get used to it no matter how many times I listen to it.
I have missed your Scriabin sonata analyses, this was educational! :)
