Hello All!As I said in the subject, I am looking for an interesting Chopin piece level 5-6. I have to mention that I am not really interested in something overly cheery at the moment. Looking for something more deep with a lot of emotion. I should also note that I am open to any other suggestions besides Chopin! Looking forward to hearing your ideas!

I still maintain that Chopin was a level 10 pianist and as a result, even his shortest and simplest-seeming works are in fact level 10.
I think that you've contradicted yourself. First off, Chopin was an exceptional pianist of a very high standard. That doesn't mean that he couldn't write technically simple pieces like the E minor and the C minor preludes. And "level 10" is a grade given to a piece of a difficulty X. If a piece is simpler than X then it is not level 10.
I don't feel I've contradicted myself at all. I've played over one hundred and twenty of Chopin's works and I think they're pretty much all level 10. Perhaps the Prelude in A major is only a level 6.5, but we're practically splitting hairs by this point. I don't think I ever heard a good performance of it by a pianist who wasn't at least level 7 or 8.
I played the B minor and E minor Preludes when I was about 7. Chopin rolled around quite a bit in his grave. I've been working quite hard to redeem myself in his beautiful eyes ever since.
