Piano Concertos

[richterfan1]

Hey all, i know these kind of questions are kinda boring , but i really want to know this . I am sure most of you knows piano repertoire well, so i would be very grateful if some one could write me the piano concertos of the ROMANTIC era, from hardest to easiest, thank you!

Which ones? Liszt? Rachmaninoff? Chopin? St Saens? Be more specific please. There are hundreds of concerti from the Romantic period that sound Romantic.

Bleeding difficult: Rach 3, Schytte, Busoni, Nikish, Zelenski, Abbiate, Ogdon (if you consider it romantic), Henselt, Klindworth, Andriessen, Zichy (keft hand).
Nastily difficult: Rozycki, Moszkowski 2, Linko 2, Dreyschock Concertstuck, Hopekirk, Urspruch,  Concertstuck, Willan, Boise, Brassin 3, Bainton, Natanael Berg, Bronsart, Conrath, Labor, Liljefors, Melcer 1, Pabst, Paur, Reuss, Rolon. 
Not so nasty: Bobinski 2, Borowski, Bennett 4,  Castro, Gernsheim, Hurlstone, Malling, Rosenhain, Rufinatscha, Smulders, Sowinski,
Easier:  Bache, Barnet, Broustet, Burgmuller, Cusins, De boeck, Dobrzynski, Dupont, Hartnock, von Holten, Jewson, Kufferath, Lessel, Norman, Parish Alvars, Scholz, Spindler, Street.
Easier short Works: Blahetka Concertstuck, Farrenc Gallenberg Variations.

Chopin, rachmaninoff, liszt, brahms, tchaikovsky, saens, mendelssohn, schumann, and the other famous, i would like to know which is TECHNICALLY hardest, and easiest!:)

[pianovlad1996]

From easiest to hardest:Grieg- Mendelsohn, Saent Saens, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Tchaikovsky- Brahms, Rachmaninoff.
If you want the extremes, Grieg and Mendelsohn 1 are the easiest romantic concertos, yet very difficult and the hardest will be Tchaikovsky 1, Brahms 1 or 2 and Rachmaninoff 3.
