I have sent you the sheets.

As far as difficulty is concerned, i have not looked at any of them for some years.

Not a great deal between them if memory serves.

sorry but i have these sheets printed and it's not what i'm looking for...
u see it's the arrangment of BIZET so he took the orchestra put it into the score of the piano.. it's like the orchestra and the piano in one piece. i mean i need to play the orchestral parts too by this edition, and i'm looking to play only the piano parts.
anyway, thank you very much for the effort.

go to piano.ru . They have the sheet but piano/orchestra (piano arrangement). So its 2 staves, 1 being the orchestra part, one being the piano part. I think it is the best you can find.

As your ranking, I would have to say from easiest to hardest :

Grieg (most definitly)
Schumann
Saint Saens 2

Although im inclined to say that the Schumann is harder.
