In general theyre all hard, the nocturnes are (in general) abit easier. Its nonsense to say it more detailed, since 'hard' depends on the technical skills of the pianist, especially with the chopin etudes. Maybe you could say that the hungarian rhapsodies are the hardest, since they require the broadest range of skills.

No, you didn't understand what I meant, I meant like ranking the difficulties of all 27 Chopin Etudes, all 21 nocturnes, all (??) polonaises, and all 19 hungarian Rhapsodies. The Chopin Etudes shouldn't go together with the nocturnes ,etc. I meant ranking the difficulties seperately for each collection. For example etude Op. 10 no. 4 is more difficult than Op. 25 no. 1 or Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6 is easier than No.2.
