Actually, a few of his transcriptions (the Bizet comes to mind) are somewhat less difficult compared to the rest of his music. If you're looking to just play melodies, there are many easier arrangements written by others of his more well-known pieces.
"I always make sure that the lid over the keyboard is open before I start to play." --  Artur Schnabel, after being asked for the secret of piano playing.
