I learned the moonlight sonata on guitar. Not very good, but wen I got a piano I easily transfered it to piano. Within like a month I was able to play my first classical piece on Piano.

In Pathetique I you have this tremolo phrase which is quite hard to control when played in right tempo, and you have a few other parts which are quite difficult. So I´d say, just to estimate the time you need to practice the pieces - if Moonlight III is your 10, then Pathetique I is 8.5 and Tempest III is 5 or 6. Just a guess... In any case you need a lot of experience to start either of these.

I´ve played all of them, so I´ll try to explain: You can´t really compare, but this piece (Tempest III) is by far easier than Moonlight III or Pathetique I. Here´s why: To play Tempest III accurately, you´ll have to learn the pattern which is repeated throughout the movement and understand its idea and rhythm (and one variation of the rhythm).
