At the moment the hardest piece i have attempted is the Ballade no.1 by chopin.

on classical guitar it is... Hmmm, probably Aguado's rondo in a minor.

Let's see, for me, since I play percussion,t he hardest peie I know would be....

... Marriage of Figaro, that one Mozart peice I keep hearing everywhere. Oh, I play it on vibes, so it's really hard nailing all of those sixteenth-note runs...Not to mention I play it at a slightly faster tempo.

I haven't really gotten into anything too complicated yet. Hardest thing I've played on the piano is Chopin's raindrop prelude, which is a beautiful piece. Playing bassoon, I rarely get hard parts.

I heard a piece for violin solo and orchestra (not a concerto, though) - some set of Gypsy Dances by a Spanish composer. It was AMAZING, and sounded like a bitch to play.

Given that, I think Joshua Bell has sold his soul to the devil.

Hardest piece I've yet tackled is Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, a piano transcription. There were some faster sections in there, especially near the end, that even at my recital I had trouble with.

The hardest pieces I have ever been cursed to learn were the Koyunbaba by Carlo Domeniconi. I had to learn to read in a new tuning and then work at complex fingers and speed.

So has Paganini.

Meh...I've seen much harder pieces for that exact, same ensemble.
