Pick the hardest FOUR of these Liszt etudes

[lisztomania]

Just pick the four etudes u think are the hardest, and these are the most commonly played versions of these, NOT the GRande etudes or whatever
Thanks!

What is your obsession with difficulty about? Can you play any of these? If so, what do you care what others think? If not, what possible difference does it make?

ill comment on the ones i've tried:
gnomenreigen: definltey one of the easier ones on the list. technique is repetitive, and not insane. though, this piece is NOT easy.

la campanella: underrated in difficulty. the jumps are not easy to execute, and some of the faster passages are a real pain. the ending is really difficult, due to the numerous number of jumps,and the fact that you don't have that much energy left. not to mention there are no real breaks in this piece.

mazeppa: extremely difficult. takes a LOT of slow practice, and a LONG time to really get the hang of. I'd say the only sections that really make this piece THAT hard are: the A section with double thirds and jumping chords(drove me nuts for 7 months), the opening scale if your hands are cold(you do not want to play this piece with cold hands...i learned that the hard way), and the last variation.
