To back up the statement, I'm sure there's a 9yr old somewhere playing it - and, well, if a 9yr old can play it
Whether it can be backed up or not, that kind of humor has been used way too often to be funny anymore. It's like comments on youtube about the people who dislike a video. It was funny the first time, it was funny the second time, it isn't funny the 100th time. Sarcasm is all fine and joking is all good but PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD keep it fresh.

you might have a look at medtner op 54, a sort of 'middle road' between the 'easier' children's works/album's for the young by others before him but not quite as insanely difficult as his other music, mainly as a compromise w his publisher. some super pretty momments, i'm sure i could NOT sight read this but there maybe individual sketches you might be able to crank out. they are all incredibly lovely though


Romantic Sketches for the Young, Op. 54 (1931-32)

I. Prelude: Pastorale [0:00]
II. Bird's Tale [2:18]
III. Prelude: Tempo di Sarabanda [4:55]
IV. Skazka (Tale): Scherzo [7:01]
V. Prelude: Tender Reproach [9:39]
VI. Skazka (Tale): The Organ Grinder [12:48]
VII. Prelude: Hymn [18:19]
VIII. Skazka (Tale): The Beggar [21:57]

A work for solo piano by Russian composer Nikolai Medtner (1880-1951). He composed this suite of four Skazki (each preceded by a prelude) in 1931-32, when his German publisher pleaded with him to publish a "moderately difficult" work, unlike most of his virtuosic output for piano. High inflation in Germany was placing financial constraints on the publishing industry, so Medtner's publisher was averse to taking risks with extremely demanding large-scale piano works. Nonetheless, Medtner managed to produce very distinctive and evocative music in his "Romantic Sketches." Even though the music is less demanding than his sonatas and most other Skazki, it is considerably more difficult than works such as Tchaikovsky's "Album for the Young."
