Obviously it depends on the pianist but anyway:
From least to most difficult:
Mozart Sonata A minor
Beethoven and Scriabin are about the same
Janacek Sonata
Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev are about the same

I suck at Mozart so the a minor sonata would probably be the most difficult for me

Scriabin 3 is way harder than appassionata btw

Live large, die large.  Leave a giant coffin.

Mozart is just pop music.

Once you got this in your head everything'll be easy.
