1) Buy or borrow the scores if you don't already
have them:
https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Piano-Sonatas-Dover-Music/dp/0486258505/ https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Preludes-Etudes-Pianoforte-Dover/dp/048622919X/
https://www.amazon.com/Mazurkas-Poemes-Impromptus-Other-Pieces/dp/0486265552/
2) Listen to Sofronitsky, Feinberg, Zhukov, Richter, Szidon:

3) Listen, take notes, compare, think, listen again, etc...
There are no shortcuts. All the information I provided
can be easily found in 10 minutes if one trains one's
fingers to ask Google every day.

If someone new to music asked me how to start with BeethovenWhy not? Anything wrong with reading the sources ?!?
sonatas I wouldn't suggest getting the scores
or acquiring the Lim set. I wouldn't suggest listening to No. 29 or
No. 20 or No. 1 performed by Backhaus, but rather would point
them to a version of 14, or 8, or 23 done by a great pianist like....
uhh... H. J. Lim
Why Backhaus? Why not Schnabel? Or Gulda? Or Brendull? Or
Yves Nat? Or Maria Grinberg? Inquiring minds would like to
find out.
Why not Kehrer?
That part of the conversation was about Boring Van Beethoven's
Piano Sonata sets -- not about Scriabin's piano music. And while
I am a great Kehrer fan, I don't think Scriabin was his forte.

Oh yeah, I'm so excessively woke, haha.
I suggested most people are here for the music, not for checking musicians' ethnic labels.
And yeah, this constant attention to people's ethnicity (and excluding them, for instance, for not being X enough) gives me a very uncomfortable feeling, not because of being woke, but because of having grown up in a post WW2 world.

Start with the 24 Preludes opus 11, and Sonatas 2, 4 and 5. Sofronitsky or Horowitz.
There are a few CDs of Horowitz in various works - all good. Sofronitsky recorded almost everything.
