Chopin pieces with same difficulty level as fantaisie impromptu

[psaiko]

Name all Chopin pieces you think is the same difficult level or slighty above the fantaisie impromptu?

Would you say his 3rd ballade fall in this group?

Maybe Etude Op25 No2?

25-1 and 10-5 seem about right. I don't know much about the Ballades, but I'm pretty sure that the 3rd Ballade is far more difficult than Fantasie-Impromptu.

Yeah, the 3rd Ballade is beyond it. It's in the LRSM syllabus here in the UK. I find 10-5 a good bit more difficult than FI, too.
Maybe some of the Nocturnes. 62/2, maybe? The Berceuse?

F I, has 1 huge mountain to overcome which is the split time, Once you have mastered the first couple of pages, you know what the score is. Its a fairly uniform piece fast slow fast and I would suggest op 10/ op, 25/ all ballades would fall in to the same difficulty bracket.

I would forget the sonatas and concerto for now as they dont offer as much per cubic centimeter technique wise as the others  plus I like them better
