Difficulty ranking of these Bach pieces

on: July 21, 2012, 07:33:19 PM

Hi! I've narrowed it down to 3 Bach pieces, so can anyone tell me how they would rank it from easiest to hardest? Thanks, these are the 3 pieces:

Prelude and Fugue BWV847 from WTC Book 1
Prelude and Fugue BWV878 from WTC Book 1
Italian Concerto (1st mvt.)

Logged

Bach Prelude and Fugue BWV848
Beethoven Piano Sonata Op.13
Chopin Etude Op.10 No.4
Chopin Scherzo Op.31
Mussorgsky "The Great Gate of Kiev" from Pictures at an Exhibition

You have actually already listed them from easiest to hardest. The C minor Prelude and Fugue is the easiest, and the Italian Concerto is the hardest.

I think the C sharp Major prelude and fugue is the hardest, the italian concerto following that
