Rank songs in order of difficulty.....

I am a beginner and there are a bunch of songs that I have always wanted to play. Some seem like they would be more difficult than others to approach first. Would anyone care to rank these in terms of difficulty?

Linus & Lucy
Memphis Stomp (the Firm)
Liz on top of the world (Pride & Prejudice)
The Heart Asks Pleasure First (The Piano)
Joy (George Winston)
Bach Invention Number 13

I've ever heard of them, except the Bach, but I dont know the difficulty. From experience I've seen that you can look on a sheet and think, that's easy or i'll never gonna make it. But it turms out to be the opposite.

I dont really know how they usually rank pieces, but I think they rank them by looking at speed ( bpm ), notes ( eightnotes/halfnotes/etc ), how many that are played at once and how far away they are from each other.

Would have been great to have a calculator where you could add this information and get the ranking.

If you got to youtube.com and type in the names of the songs, there are recordings of all of them. I would think that a song with a bunch of different length notes as well as something that varies a lot in rythm would be more difficult. For example, I would think that Memphis Stomp would be one of the harder ones, where "Liz on top of the world" might be a bit easier compared to the rest on the list......??

I can only tell you about my favorite song in the list: The Heart Asks Pleasure First (The Piano) ... that is a really hard one because of the speed and different positions on the piano. Im hoping to learn that in the future though

Yeah maggie....that is the song I would like most to learn. I too think it looks like one of the hardest songs on the list. Lots of time signature changes too.....
