Nope, I’ve been playing piano for 1 year
Some basic piece like arabesque (burgmuler), prelude in Em, La candeur.

I'd check out more Burgmuller etudes and see if there are more you like. Pieces like the Liebestraum are much harder and can hurt your technique if you tackle them too early.

It doesnt as hard as it seems. First part is A flat major and flowing arpeggio. First cadenza i think is the hardest part of the piece, upside and down. N then transition to b major. The whole second part was inversion chord, hit the melody clearly and the fingering was only 4 and 5. Octave A-A-B-C, Arpegio E, D, transition to C major. And then the G-E octave. The jumping isnt that hard, all the fingering was almost the same. Need a lot of practice to get the l.h right (chord melody part), second cadenza is easy, just pay atention to the fingering (repeated note but go down). Transition to A flat again, the crossed hand and arpeggio is the easiest part (also coda).

That's really good for 1 year! But I feel like you should definitely start from scratch and choose something significantly easier than the Liebestraum. Why not start a Baroque piece - maybe one of Bach's little preludes.

Nine little Preludes from the Notebook for Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, BWV 924–932
Six little Preludes, BWV 933–938
Five little Preludes, BWV 939–943

Most underrated piece of all time is Mozart's K 533 sonata.
