No, I do not agree. And Thal shut up. The last thing we need is the "Another one" clogged up by idiot trolls. Just give him the answer, and he will be quiet.

Sergey, the reason Thal said that is because there was just a thread made about this. You can check that out if you want. https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php?topic=60503.0

As I specified in that thread, here is how I would rank them in terms of difficulty. I think they can be re-arranged within the brackets because it is different for everyone, but I think they are in this order...

[5, 4, 12] [10, 8] [7, 6, 11, 9] [2, 1, 3]

I think you underrated #6 and #5.

What the hell. Here goes. My hardest to easiest ratings.

[12, 5, 4]
[8, 7, 2, 10]
[9, 11]
[6, 1, 3]

I don't even find 6 difficult in the 1837 version  ::)
I used to think I couldn't ever play Feux Follets, but I've changed my mind. I think Chasse-Neige is harder though.

Well, you'll change your mind once you are able to play Mazeppa.
