Yes yes, indeed, another one:

Which one is the most easy, which the most difficult?

And how do you rank Nr. 4 particulary?
Currently learing:
- Chopin: Ballade No.3
- Scriabin: Etude Op. 8 No. 2
- Rachmaninoff: Etude Op. 33 No. 6
- Bach: P&F No 21 WTC I

He asked which is the easiest, not which one is easy. Liszt's Transcendental Etude no. 1 is hard, but it is indeed easier than no. 4. You see?
