Difficulty of Liszt's Rhapsodies

on: July 29, 2010, 12:02:14 AM

Hello all,

I've been reading Bernhard's wonderful posts about the grading of different pieces - especially Chopin's, whose works are covered several times. I was wondering if someone had a list of the 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies in order of their difficulty. I realise that difficulty is subjective, but even an approximate list would be useful.

Thanks a lot for any input!

If you use the search function, it would yield a few helpful threads. To get your started:

Usually turns out to be no. 3 4 5 or 6. 11 is quite lovely too.

Bach - Partita No.2
Scriabin - Etude 8/12
Debussy - L'isle Joyeuse

Thanks for that. It's a good start, but it's a shame that there are not more comprehensive lists for these Rhapsodies.
