What is the technically least demanding hungarian dance in your opinion? Are they all really 8+ ABRSM? I know they're really hard and I just want to check if I could approach one of them over the next few months. Just to give you an idea of what level I am: right now I'm playing some of the harder Chopin preludes and etude op. 10 no. 3, Schubert's Impromptu op. 142 no. 3, Rachmaninoff's Prelude op. 3 no. 2, Scarlatti's K141 Sonata, and Beethoven's The Tempest (mvt 1). Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Thanks.

Are the Hungarian Dances not a common staple of the modern pianist's repertoire?

Quite to say, yes.

Just something off the box here, since no.5 in F# minor is so commonly heard, you are probably too familiar with that piece, so I would start with that piece because you are already halfway there?

Scriabin - Etude 8/12

No, I actually like No. 4 the most.
