Ranking of Etudes Op 39 by Rachmaninov

[presto agitato]

Im not a Rachmaninov specialist 

Can you list them according to their difficulty?

Thanks

From easiest to most difficult: 2, 4, 7, 8, 5, 6, 1, 9, 3

Of course, as everyone is well aware, difficulty depends on your innate and developed skills with different pianistic techniques. And many would disagree with this arrangement.

Can someone do the same with the preludes (all 24)? I already know which ones I could play and such, I'm just curious about other people's opinions on their relative difficulty.

Depends really, some are extremely difficult musically, while others are just difficult technically. Technique is something that can be ironed with a lot of work, where is the music needs to be aquired by working through different standards of pieces. You might hear a really a slow piece and think that its really easy, but its not.

technically?

2-4-8-5-7-9-3-1-6 IMO
