Almost nothing Chopin wrote is easy, but a handful of pieces are within reach of a player a few years in: the E minor Prelude, the A minor Waltz, some of the mazurkas, and the shorter preludes where one idea is held from start to finish.
These are the most approachable Chopin pieces on the shelf, easiest first. The difficulty in Chopin is rarely the notes; it is the singing line over a moving left hand, and the reader lets you hear exactly how that should sound at a speed you can manage.
