A greeting, and a question!

on: April 26, 2014, 09:58:31 PM

Hi all! My name is Steven O'Connor, a 22 year old music student in Seattle, Washington. Have been studying classical piano for 14 years now, and have a question for you all. What is your opinion on the follow pieces in terms of difficulty? (Hardest to easiest)

Rachmaninov Concerto 2
Chopin Scherzo 1
Chopin Etudes (as a set)
Chopin Sonatas (as a set)
Chopin Concertos (as a set)
Chopin Fantasie Impromptu
So lots of Chopin...
Oh, and Rachmaninov Prelude in C# minor (This and fantasie impromptu, for me, are near the bottom)

I'm skipping the chopin concertos since I have no idea if they are harder than the sonatas or the rachmaninoff concerto

Chopin Sonatas
Rachmaninoff Concerto 2
Chopin Etudes (this one is hard to grade, since they cover a great span of difficulty)
Chopin Scherzo no 1
Chopin Fantasie impromptu
Rachmaninov C# minor prelude

I think. Altough I have not played them all
