    I definitely agree with this list. I think clair de lune shouldn't really be here since the middle part can be challenging and it can be very hard to make it sound beautiful. Same thing with the prelude in c major and moonlight sonata.

      As someone whos a begginer.
      Talking about like week 2.
      (I have a piano at work so i can only practice there and only on my free time so yea. Not a lot of practice)
      Anywayyy learning moonlight sonata was pretty challenging for me after the 4 first parts its starts to use the octaves and thats where i started fucking up.
      But overall I did manage to learn it.
      Im a little bit slower on the octaves parts which kinda ruins it. But it does sound nice. Makes me feel good like I can actually play something that isnt one of those gimmick one note children songs.

    these "easy" pieces arent easy at all, sure just the reading itself isn't to difficult but its the expression and understanding thats required to play pieces like Clair de lune correctly, like the piece can be played by grade 5 but its classified as a grade 7 on AMEB PFL and grade 10 for the RCM level The melody requires proper technique and experience to be played flawlessly.
    edit:
    after reading sum od 50 replies and replying to a few i wanted to address a couple things, I'm 16 i love the piano with everything inside me and i wrote this comment like a month ago and I was about to have to perform something big so i was a little stressed and i saw clair de lune and went grr, honestly proper technique is needed for quite a few of these pieces like i said, but even if you don't have that the same message you want to bring across in your playing can always be brought as long as you put yourself into every piece you play. i aspire to one day be able to teach students music and i know from experience from teaching my own family how to play you learn that it isnt all grades and scales and when to lift up but most of all from trying to learn the piano or playing any new piece is that you have to play every single keystroke with passion, maybe that's the passion of a loved one or the pure passion to play this instrument in which we all share around the world but ether way to get the most out of what you play whether you're of grading "good enough" to play it or not just play with passion and continue to put yourself into your music until you cant anymore!

    I've been a classical pianist for 6 years now in which I've taken professional piano lessons from three separate teachers and have attended one of Steinway & Sons' All-Steinway Schools at the Oklahoma City University and I can attest to some of these pieces being much easier to play than they at first seem, but definitely not all of these pieces are easy if you are to play their original arrangements all the way through from their beginnings to their ends.
    The middle-end of Fur Elise will be a bit difficult for beginner pianists, Moonlight Sonata on the other hand I would argue is harder to play than it sounds (at least in the beginning), good luck if you go into it with the expectation that it will be easy, especially if you haven't had much experience with playing classical music; one movement in particular will be excruciatingly difficult for even well-experienced pianists.
    As for Clair De Lune, it should not even be in this video as an easy piece, the beginning is ridiculously easy, but oh my does the left hand get hard throughout the middle-end of the piece, not to mention the massive chords you have to play that can be difficult to memorize and transition between quickly, more so if you don't know what fingers to use for the most efficient transitions and comfortability.
    Clair De Lune is by far the most technical and physically difficult piece in this video to perform (if you do not include Moonlight Sonata's 3rd Movement).
    For me personally, it was not a fun experience attempting to learn and memorize the left hand when I first wanted to learn the piece.
    I love you SMB, but you're misleading some pianists with the pieces you reference in this video.

    Fur Elise the only 'difficult' part is the bridge, which is in F major while the rest is in C (or rather A minor)
    Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement isn't too difficult if you practice C# minor (or E major) beforehand. The main thing challenge however is your hands often have to reach for over an octave at times. Still, being a Beethoven piece it is good for studying chords as well.
    Canon in D is not hard in the beginning, there is a moderately difficult part in the middle where the left hand needs to play a bit far. The hardest part is the very last page, jazz chords. That is unless you get a toned down version.

    During my literal first year at learning the piano, I forced myself to fully learn Moonlight Sonata. Every day I learned and remembered every part, for 6 months. And I was able to play the full piece with no sheets, at my first piano year.
    "Used to" because I haven't been playing it, so I have fractions of it, but boy was I happy that I forced myself to learn it.

    From easiest (technically) to hardest:
    -Canon : depends on which version you play but there are some very easy version out there.
    -Prelude : you’ll get the notes if you can remember them and properly look at your hands while playing. And for those who’re looking at the notes, you’ll be able to sightread this if you can press the right key without looking at the hands.
    -Fur Elise : it’s faster than prelude and beginners might have some problem picking which finger to press the key with in some parts.
    -k. 545 : similar to Fur Elise but without pedal which makes it a lot more difficult. Forcing you to play the scales and detach notes very clearly.
    -Moonlight Sonata : difficulty jump as you tried to play melody and rhythm in one hand for the first time.
    -Clair de Lune : if you have seen the video ‘piano practice frustration’ before, just know that this one is much more difficult than Nocturne op.9 no.2. You have longer jumps and fast passage with both melody and rhythm in one hand. And both your hands need to constantly change position in some passage as well. I’d say this is a piece that sounds easy but is actually hard.

    I don't know who needs to hear this but if you're a beginner who can play things like this from memory, but can't read sheet music, triplet pieces like mvt1 of Moonlight Sonata are PERFECT to improve your sheet reading. It's a long ass piece so memorizing it all can be tedious, and because it's so easy to play, learning it in sheet just makes so much sense and really gets you into sheet music.

Both in their entirety are much more difficult (Movement 3 of MS and mid section of Claire de Lune specifically). I will agree with you though, I have a few friends that learned the first 3rd of CdL because it’s a fun and easy to understand portion that also sounds beautiful.

That he had originally planned for it to be an easy to play piece that still sounded beautiful, but then when she got engaged to someone else, he made it instead to sound easy to play, but actually being rather complicated and difficult
