Ha, that's a pleasant surprise!...and brings back an old memory...of probably 40+ years ago since I last listened to that piece...on the Ponti Scriabin complete works LP set that I mentioned before (I nearly wore out those LPs!). The only place I have ever seen the score to that fugue is in the Music Treasure Publications book "Youthful and Early Works of Alexander and Julian Scriabin," which I also bought a copy of 40-some years ago (and still have). It's long out of print...so I presume you found it on IMSLP?
That's a beautiful fugue :D Well played!
The first few notes remind me of Alkan's op.39 no.9 hehe
Yes, I quite like this :)
Very nice…and informative. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for listening, too. Appreciated!

I have Könemann edition. It says Urtext but there are some notes which may be misprints but so minor it didn't bother me.
I would not have guessed Scriabin! Anyway, he clearly knew about fugal writing - as do you!
Apparently teacher Arensky didn't rate him well at all. (Maybe he was jealous!?)
Nice fugue, similar to one of Lyadov's
I think Lyadov is better fugue-wise but as a student's work I'd give this a full mark :)
Evidently writing fugues was not to be Scriabin's destiny.😀
Rather mystique than fugue :)
pretty sure there's one in the last movement of the first symphony
