It looks easy? shocked

I'm puzzled by much that has been mentioned in this thread. In order to be "deceptively hard," doesn't something have to be generally regarded as (or appear to be) relatively easy?


Well, for me, I'm finding some of Debussy's preludes to be of the easy/hard type. Right now it's Danseuses de Delphes. Seemingly so slow and simple. What a sonorous nightmare. Beautiful, but hard to get the chord patterns internalized.
