Ranking these pieces in difficulty

on: July 04, 2020, 06:20:01 AM

How would you rank these works in increasing difficulty?
-Prokofiev Sonata 8
-Rachmaninov Sonata 2
-Scriabin Sonata 3
-Janacek Sonata "From the Street"
-Beethoven "Appasionnata"
-Mozart a-minor Sonata

Obviously it depends on the pianist but anyway:
From least to most difficult:
Mozart Sonata A minor
Beethoven and Scriabin are about the same
Janacek Sonata
Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev are about the same

I suck at Mozart so the a minor sonata would probably be the most difficult for me

Scriabin 3 is way harder than appassionata btw

Mozart is just pop music.

Once you got this in your head everything'll be easy.
