oh I've played the arabesque before.
It's ok. I don't know if the pianostreet levels are reliable, but in ram I think it's a level 9 or 10.

To play it,you need a good musicality, understanding of balances in between the voices, and maybe take a while to figure out the rhythms

It's considered Schumann's "salon music" but it's a pretty good piece :p
