Well, the first movement of the Beethoven is fairly tricky, the rest isn't too hard. Both Chopin pieces are quite difficult, I think the polonaise is the harder of the two.

Liebestraum is one of Liszt's easier pieces but still hard for beginners. The Rach is diffcult in that it has advanced chords and requires huge hands, so that's definately not for beginners.

I'm not familiar with the Scriabin...

Great thank you for your reply! 

I may start liebestraum or the Beethoven some day

The Scriabin is about Grade 29. I was looking at it this morning, funnily enough. It really is rock hard. Leave it for one day when you've got a couple of weeks solitary confinement with only a piano and a score of it for company.

Scriabin 8/12 ain't no thang...

Just leave out the troublesome LH notes.
