Rachmaninoff Etudes

[nanabush]

I want to play an etude tableaux, I can only play the G minor from op 33 set.  I have quickly looked through the sheets and heard recordings of each and I enjoy nearly all of them... if someone who knows a lot about these pieces (op 33 and 39) would you be willing to rank them in approximate difficulty, because I do not have the technique for some that are said on this forum to be extremely difficult, but I know I could tackle a few of them.

I don't play them all, so take with a grain of salt:

The easier ones include Op. 39 ##2, 7 (the hardest from an interpretation point of view, often said), 8 and 5; and Op. 33 F minor, C major and G minor (the numbering is all messed up).

The hardest include Op. 33 E flat minor, Op. 39 ## 6 and 9, and perhaps 1.  The rest is somewhere in the middle.

op.39/2 and op.33 E flat major are manageable if you're looking for easier ones, yet if you have time and good nerves try op.39/1,8 (and the rest heh)
