Shostakovich P & F

on: December 05, 2005, 12:51:50 PM

Does anyone have a list in order of technical difficulty of the Op. 87? Which are considered the "easier" ones?

I have found the musicality of them to be challenging. I haven't studied the scores on all of them, but I think 1 and 14 are on the easier side and 15 is really difficult.
