Most Difficult Nocturne (Chopin)

[presto agitato]

Is Op 48-1 the hardest or do you think is only a matter of perception?

Believe or not for me the most difficult one is Op 9-1.  I dont know why but I cant play it correctly yet.

  The Op. 48 No. 1, in my view, has the largest virtuosistic "showcase", and it can be a challenge. It reminds me of the Ballades.

You've got to be kidding me.
I have no problem getting through this Nocturne- took me no more than a month to learn it.
For me, the 9/3 is tough. It's dang long, and confusing, and I have quite a rough time learning the Agitato part. Darn that syncopation!

Nocturne op.27 n1 is the most beautiful, so most difficult, too.
