I think Moonlight. Ok, the first and second movement are not that difficult, but the third is extremely hard

I've learned
Pathetic
first and I'm playing
Moonlight
for almost 4 years but I'm still having a hard time with
Pathetic
whenever I'm reviewing it.

I learnt both a few years ago. Now, I can still play moonlight fairly well, but I can't remember a bit of the Pathetique.
So I would say the latter is more difficult.

K although Pathetique has two fast movements and Moonlight has only one, that one movement is much more difficult than the two of Pathetique IMO. I played last two movements of pathetique fer grade 10 piano in Canada, and Moonlight is the next level up, for one reason or another...
