bach chorales ranked according to difficulty?

[maxim3]

I was just wondering if there exists a reasonably good ordering of the Bach 4-part Chorales according to difficulty. Some searching so far has revealed nothing.

I thought it would be years before I could even begin playing a single measure of Bach chorales but I've just learned from a Robert Estrin video ("How to play hymns on the piano") how to approach it: start by leaving out tenor and alto. I tried it and I can actually clunk my way through some chorale bits like this. But I wonder, are all of them more or less the same difficulty?

Yes, pretty much.  The 4 part reading IS the difficulty.

I agree with Themeandvariation (not to confuse with Bach chorale preludes, which is a whole different story).

ANY of the BWV 331 chorales that you posted BachScholar playing are great for you to try a couple.  BachScholar's video is great to get you started.  Pick one chorale out that you like and spend a little time on this!  Would be a great addition to working on say Bach invention #1 and a little Hanon that you have been working on.  Just a suggestion.

Yes thanks I am beginning to understand. Fortunately there is also quite a bit of easier hymn stuff for free download, old hymn books for example, and I must have made a BIT of progress after all these months, because they don't look totally intimidating. I won't be playing all 4 voices of the Bach chorales for some time yet but I now feel that it will eventually be within my grasp.

Look at this for example:

PS I'm up to about no. 35 in Czerny op. 599, I can't play them like a master but I can bash them out. I think I'll take a few weeks off of it and concentrate on simple hymns.
