The most difficult piece that I have perfected and performed is Jeux D'eau by Ravel.

Wow I think this piece is gorgeos and I always said to myself that I will learn it soon. I am also interested in Sonatine, especially the second movement ,it just haunts me its so beautiful!

I think Liszt's "Un Sospiro" is probably my most difficult piece right now.

Btw, I know all of Sonatine! It's a great piece. I bugged my teacher and he let me play the first movement for recital instead of whatever it was I was supposed to be learning.  I love every movement.

I guess, it must be somewhere between Liszt's Apres un lecture du Dante, or La leggierezza, or Hungarian Rhapsodies 12 & 15, or Chopin's Etude Op.25 No.11 (winter wind), or Sonata in B minor, or Andante Spianato & Grand Polonaise Brillante, Op.22. Technical difficulties abound throughout these pieces.

Then there are other pieces that are very difficult in specific sections but not throughout the pieces, like Liszt's Il lamento and Chopin's Scherzos 1 & 3 . . .

Legendary pianist Maurizio Pollini defined modern piano playing through a combination of virtuosity of the highest degree, a complete sense of musical purpose and commitment that works in complete control of the virtuosity. His passing was announced by Milan’s La Scala opera house on March 23. Read more
