Harder to easier; Mephisto, Reflets, Fantasie Impromptu. But the FI and the Debussy are very close. The Debussy requires more imagination and understanding of the style. Fantasie Impromptu plays itself once you have the notes. Hope this helps...

HOw great, and can youplease give grades and what song you think would fit between mephisto waltz and reflets, and how would Clair de l'une fit in? I think it would fit in below FI?

Grades? Well Fantasie Impromptu is Grade 8+ and the rest is way above.
Clair De Lune would be grade 7.

OK, I'll give you a strictly personal opinion. I can play Clair de Lune, Reflets and FI, I gave a shot to the other ones several times and they're probably within my reach with lots of work. So, on a grade of 1 to 100 I'd say :
Clair de Lune is 40
FI is 55
Reflets is 60
The three Liszts are IMO at or above 80. Rhaps 2 seems easiest, let's say 80, then I'd say Mephisto 85 and La Campanella 90, though Mephisto is much longer and touches many more aspects of technique. But I've always felt that the Mephisto laid itself quite well under the fingers, contrarily to La Campanella (or even the Rhapsodie)
Anyway thats just me,
hope this helps.
Btw, I'm new to the group, Hello everybody!

The Tarantella is by far the toughest. It is way tougher than campanella or mephisto. Super difficult piece.
