Hey!
This is, of course, subjective. Assuming the Liszt études in question are the transcendental études, or any collection of études he wrote, I'd definitely place them at the most difficult end, closely followed by Beethoven sonatas (if referring to all 32). Don't know the piece from Prole do Bebe, but regarding the Chopins, there are technically easy nocturnes, technically easy waltzes and technically easy mazurkas. That said, I'd nevertheless place the mazurkas a notch above the others, as they're quite challenging musically.
Hope this helps! If not, feel free to ask again.

Easiest
Chopin Waltzes
Chopin Mazurkas
Chopin Nocturnes
Piece from Prole do Bebe no. 1
Beethoven Sonatas
Liszt Etudes
Hardest
The Etudes and Sonatas are interchangable based on which sonata and which etude.
For example, Feux Follets is much harder than Sonatas op. 49, but Hammerklavier is harder than, say, Un Sospiro.
