Well... Here are some of the world`s hardest pieces -

Beethoven - Hammerklavier Sonata
Balakirev - Islamey
Liszt - Sonata in B Minor
Rachmaninoff - Rach 3, Sonata #2
Prokofiev - Sonatas and concerti
Scriabin - He wrote some insanely difficult things...
Sorabji - ANYTHING!

You could always give Rach 3 a shot! Rach 3 is absolutely my favorite piece in the world. If that doesn`t give you a problem, then you should be concertizing. I`ve never played Diabolical Suggestion, so I don`t know how difficult it is in comparison to these pieces, but hey, there`s no problem with giving yourself a real challenge!

I know Islamey is hard. I saw it and said in another year I`ll try.
I know Scriabin writes hard stuff so I guess I`ll give it a try.

Have you played all of these?

Well I haven`t played all of them, but I`ve leared the Hammerklavier, the Lizst Sonata, and Islamey, and I`m working on the Rach 3 right now.

Good luck!
