The most trouble I have is the little section after when the piano melody just comes in, on the 5th page (International edition). I can never play it as fluidly as needed, and thus I'm rather sure I'm approaching it the wrong way. The rest of the piece seems to flow rather nicely. But I'm sure that everyone has their own trouble spots with the first movement, and that there's no single section that can be unanimously declared "hardest."
