Sir, yes sir!

What exactly are we supposed to be rating them on, btw? Length? Likeability? How friendly their key signatures are?

I don't like that grading system...

I grade in my own way if you don't mind, I'll explain:


La campanella             2
Hungarian Rhapsody 2 4.8
Islamey                      11
Gargoyles mov 4         11
schumann tocatta        9
prokofiev tocatta         23

1=difficult, 10=easy, 7=average, 4=finger breaker, 3=sigh reading, 3.5=Don't touch it, 13 being=major difficulty.

Having played islamey, i would say it's easy than la campanella.
It feels quite natural under the hands
