-Nocturne Op 37 No2
-Nocturne Op32 No2
-Waltz Op 34 No1
-Waltz Op 42
-Waltz Op 18

Thanks

Ho, another one. Overall, as I checked the difficulty of the pieces I found that the Waltzes are a lot harder than the nocturnes you mentioned. The difficulty of the pieces are as follows:

Nocturne op 15 no 1: 8th grade

Nocturne op 37 no 2: 8th grade

Nocturne op 32 no 2: 8th grade

Waltz op 34 no 1: 8th grade

Waltz op42: 8+ or to be more specific, LRSM standard

Waltz op18: 8+ or LRSM standard.
