The most difficult pieces for me personally are Liszt's etudes, and Prokofiev's Toccata. I never did perfect them, although someday I'm going to go back to that Toccata and try again. My playing is never perfect anyway!! I feel I've "perfected" a piece when I know it well enough to play it fairly well, memorized and with feeling, in front of others.
