Sorry for the long threads title. I just wanted to ask that between the above waltzes, which is the most famous, which is the most worth learning and which is the hardest/simplest.

I would be most obliged if you don't mention any stupid comments about hardest/simplest.

Op 18>>>42.

Op 18 and 42 are considerably more difficult than the ones IHP has listed. Perhaps they are beyond is current ability, and is trying to figure out which one of these four he should learn?

It wasn't my intention to insult or offend you. I had misread the op. 18/grand valse, and did not make the connection between the two.
