As a matter of interest. . .What do you people consider the most difficult piano piece? And what do you think is the piece 'sounding' the most difficult?

By the way,  there is another post, with a very similar topic, under the Miscellaneous topics:
"Which is the hardest classical piece?"    So read through that post, reinhard.  There is a host of information from other members. 

best wishes,
