I could agree with that even though I haven't actually tried playing the latter.

if the hardest pieces are at 10, ie - opus clavicembalisticum, those are probably around 1 and 2, respectively.

yes,i think that classification is acurate.More on the 5,i guess.And the Rach2 is more of a 8(rach3 a 9/10-for is length and musical complexity,that makes the technical approach of it harder).
