There is no way that you learned this piece in a week, period! Hitting notes doesn`t count. Yes, can this piece be memorized and played through in a week, Sure. But played in tempo with perfect tone quality and mastered technique with ease, and a musical quality? No way. This guy just wanted to spark up an interesting conversation. He obviously isn`t even a pianist. !No vale la pena lo que dice!

"I was told that this song is supposed to be hard. its very mediocre. I played the whole thing in one week. Could anyone please find me a piece of music which is actually difficult. Thanking you"

Honestly, this is a forum and I don't like going around flaming people but it is absolutely ridiculous to make such a claim. There is no possible way, unless you practiced 10 hours a day, and got that song to some decent performance standard. And even so you won't. Boom, wakeup, it takes more than a week to learn extremely hard pieces. 10 hours a day, for a week...nop, not happening. One person spent ages trying to be a virtuoso, he practiced 10 hours a day at times. Guess who? LISZT. The guy who transcribed la campanella from paganini's 3rd movement of concerto number 2. The guy who's work you claim to play. I'm not saying someone as great as liszt couldn't do that, i'm saying you can't. (Rach could do chopin's op.10.4 etude. He said "It was very challenging...took me all of half an hour to learn it" or something - wow)

I attempted la campanella (1851 version, 1838 is just 'wow'); I have not gotten it done and honestly it's quite difficult for me. Flame me all you want. I had a go at the pathetique sonata a few weeks back; that's easier. I can learn it, I can memorize it, I can play it, but it's not up to speed and by no account will i claim it is easy. Sure, easier than la campanella, but honestly I could destroywhat music stands for by , get it up to speed, bang out notes instead of playing with any sense of musicality, and call it easy, then proceed to post my accomplishment on a forum so that I can seek satisfaction in making empty claims for egotistic causes. Difficult is hugely subjective, wouldn't you agree?

Lastly, if you really could play l.c. with emotions and perfection in a week, you would NOT be on this forum ASKING for harder pieces. You should know. You'd do liszt's Sonata in B minor in a week too, aye? You would also most probably actually be playing around the world if you had that skill. Alas, it appears that your skill in typing those few empty words might outshine your skill on the piano. Don't insult the forum and its people by taking us as fools. If there's any fool in this matter, he's also a hypocrite, and it's not me. Yeah, mods, ban me if you wish, but I won't stand and let such an absurdity go without a retaliation.
