Sorry, but I know this was irrelevant. All I would suggest is to move the Rondo Op. 5 up several notches.

Where did you find that stupid list? 8notes.com? It seems to be written by someone with truly limited knowledge of playing piano Rondo a Mazur is easier than a Mazurka?
BTW, Difficulty is extremely subjective when it comes to Mazurkas There's like 52 of them

Um, I made it actually.

The thing is, 56/1 is actually very difficult. The piu mosso sections speed the mazurka up very fast, and the coda is like all sixths in both hands. All of the other mazurkas are much easier, except for 59/3, which has a lot of three-voice parts, and 50-3, with a hard coda. And no, I've actually been playing piano for 5 years and passed Level 10 (some Californian thing), the highest level, a few months ago.

OK, oops! Wow! That's some task to work on that listing. Obviously there are going to be some weirdness to the list. However, if it was 8notes.com, I'd never forgive them (OK, I would, but still.

It's a figure of speech )


P.S. Sorry!

[rubinsteinmad]

Oh, and Congratulations on the Californian thing!
