The third one is the hardest
tricky left hand sixteenth notes.
havent played it for a very long time though
I think allegro barbaro is more interresting.

The first is very difficult. It's a shame these terrific pieces aren't played more often.

I presume you refer to the etudes of op. 18.

They are absolutely wonderful music! About difficulty, though, I would personally say that #1 is by far the most difficult, although I've heard some say #3 is. 2 is probably the easiest (although it is by no means easy).
