Hey everyone! I have a few questions about the difficulties of a few pieces. First of all, all of the pieces I am about to post are much to difficult for me to learn right now (I believe) but I am working towards a few of them and would really like to know how they rank in difficulty.

Saint-Saens-Liszt-Horowitz -- Danse Macabre
Beethoven-Liszt -- Symphony No.5 1st Mov. (Actually doesn't seem that difficult.)
Scriabin- Etude Op.42 no.5
Prokofkiev- Etude op.2 no.1
Liszt- TE no.2 (What is so difficult about it? The split octaves "rocket" part is really easy)
Tchaikovsky-Pletnev- Nutcracker Gran Pa de Deux
Grieg- Concerto Mov.1

Could someone rank these in order of difficulty and tell me how difficult they are compared to standard repetoire? Thanks!!
