I've only looked at 'In the Hall of the Mountain King' and that is really nice on the piano (I think).

Are you asking about the difficulty or how they sound on piano?

If you are wondering what the score looks like you can preview them here:-

I like it very much on the Piano.  It's also not difficult to play - at least the first part, which is the part I know  (Morning, Ase's Death, Anitra's Dance, and Mountain King).

The bass chords in Morning Mood are too wide a span for my fingers, but arpeggiating them actually makes it sound better than as written.
