Don't mean to repeat myself and belabor the point, but the music is what it is. This is like saying, K622 is too easy, don't think I'm going to play that. Is there a version he wrote for more advanced players?

Except in the case of klezmer (and jazz, and pop, and folk, and all the other "aural" musics), there is. But it's not written down. Fake books just give you the notes; you have to add the rest -- by listening.
