I want to learn a Chopin Scherzo, but I'm not sure which one. My teacher says the 4th is the most difficult. I like the second one a lot, and the first one a little less than the second one. What is the order of the scherzi in terms of difficulty?

btw, I am the chosen one.

hmm ok.. thanks i guess. Although I find that a bit insulting that you can't post a reply of your own and just refer me to search. Thanks for the warm welcome to the forum..

The problem is, whenever a new poster is looking for an easy scherzo by Chopin, we assume they are just joking. The joke is on the pianist, though. They are all hard. And it's been a rough day for a lot of posters here, having to put up with a lot of egotistical would-be pianists who think they are God's gift to music. But I know you are not like them, Oh, Chosen One!!!! so I'm answering your question politely.
BTW, who chose you? And is there a money-back guarantee?

Yeah, I know this.. I am interested in playing the most difficult one. That's why I was interested in your opinion as to which is the most difficult.

btw, thanks for the line..

Four by far and away.

That c-sharp minor theme gets me every time

Anyone else? Which is more difficult, the 1st or 2nd? Both sound impressive when played well, although I guess no. 1 sounds a bit more technically difficult.

Difficult in what way? This is really a quite silly question. No. 1 might be more difficult for some, while No. 2 might be more difficult for others. It all depends on what you can do and what not.

If you are really interested in playing the most difficult one, then learn them both and decide for yourself. There is no agreed upon difficulty rating. If there was, everybody would know about it.
