Without knowing the Shostakovich, I'm going to venture the following guess:

If one of them is within your grasp, they probably all are. Pick the one you like the best.

Mine is not a difficulty response.  But instead of the Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue, I would substitute his Concerto in F on your list.  It's a beautiful cyclical concerto.

Rhapsody in blue is definitely the easiest on this list.

Jazz is to classical what Mcdonald's is to great restaurants. It's trash and will allways be even if lots of people like it.

Off the top of my head I would say Shost 1 is the most difficult of the list.

Shosty 2 by quite a margin I would say.

'Rhapsody in Blue' is probably the easiest of the selection. Having said that, the cadenza is not all that easy, with those rapidly repeating notes. The work also needs a lot life and sparkle. Good luck in your selection.
