Yes I know, another difficulty thread

Which of Chopin's piano sonatas in the easiest? The hardest?

Biggest BS ever. Chopin sonatas are higher than grade 10, not grade 7...

1 is the easiest one, 3 is the most difficult one, arguably.

Look carefully, those refer to specific movements.  In general I agree with you but the movements they listed in that spreadsheet are the easier ones.
