There's Gallop in A-Minor by Liszt and the first one in your list is actually Sherzo allá Napolanita by Amedee Mereaux. A hectic day is a joke arrangement 😅. It's completely impossible, but the original version is also one of the hardest pieces ever.
Where is Islamey, Dante Sonata, Sonata b minor, Gaspard de la nuit, Rachmaninoff sonata no.2 and Hammerklavier? Fantasie impromptu and Torrent etude aren´t difficult pieces, but great video.
@Shostacovid Beethoven literally just put some tonic, 7th, and neapolitan chords and each of them were played for like 2 or 4 bars so i dont see how the harmony is difficult
Good liszt, my only concern is the rachmaninoff one? That one isn't that hard. Problem with those liszts is that the actualy hardest pieces are defined by their length mostly.. Take "hammerklavier" by beethoven for example. That's why I like your list, since those are actually "playable" pieces. Good choices! (I don't see paganini/liszt etude no. 6 though?)
I was legit confused to why Vivaldi was in the thumbnail...Turns out there's a piano arrangement for Summer. Also these pieces are just technically challenging, not necessarily the most difficult...
A lot of these shouldn't even be on here, you've got things like gaspard de la nuit, hammerklavier, alkan solo concerto, Beethoven/Liszt symphony no.9, Liszt's sonata in b minor, 1838 etudes, stuff like are miles ahead of everything on this list

Bro, you have put the easiest pieces, and I understand you, since a person who does not know classical music or piano, would do something like that in his life, but you, as a person not involved in the world of classical music, I refuse to think that you have made this ranking saying that they are the most difficult. Anyway, they are not easy obviously, but they would not enter the top 10 for example.
Neither of the chopin etudes in this video are the hardest in their respective set. No.1 is (arguably) the hardest of op.10 No.6 is ABSOLUTELY the hardest of op.25.

Unlike the other videos I have watched, this one is. Meh, wrong. I expected something like the wagner/ liszt tannhauser overture, I mean even Liszt himself had to take breaks in between because he didn’t have the stamina or the famous ninth symphony arr by Liszt, but when I saw the first one being the Chopin etude. I was surprised I thought everyone knew abt the ninth symphony. Welp

Second, how torrent is the hardest piece ever it doesn’t make sense!! and when i saw that moonlight sonata 3rd movement was in the list i relished that you need to play a a litle bit of piano to make a list (no hate, you are just dummy)
WTF?! NO NO BRO... I've been playing the piano for 1 year and a half and i can easily play flight of the bumblebee and I'm studying fantasie impromptu... moonlight sonata 3rd m. in pretty easy too.. i think Rach 3 is the hardest piano piece and Finale (alkan) or Scherzo Diabolico (alkan) are certainly in the top 10 hardest piano pieces...and all the Hungarian Rhapsodies 😂 and etude tableaux?! where are they? 😂 🥱
WTF is this awful list: Winter wind - yeah okay it's a virtuosic show piece, though a little short. La Campanella - Yeah it's difficult but it's one of the easier Paganini Grande Etudes Moonlight Sonota third movement - still an pretty advanced piece but this is not even close to the most difficult ever. Fantasie Impromptu- I'm laughing now. It's really not that hard. Vivaldi summer - um, this list of just getting easier and easier???? Waterfall etude- okay finally a piece that scares even some concert pianist, but still I wouldn't call it ine of the most difficult piece ever. Prelude in C# minor - LMAO I'm dying. That this is the only rach on the list makes this some much more hilarious bruh Hungarian Rhapsody No 6.
