Musician's Challenges

Down further I started list of challenging musical compositions that test the quality of the musician.
Please add and continue!

Guitar:
1. Recuerdos De La Alhambra by Francisco Tarrega best played by Pepe Romero IMHO
2. Le Catedral by Augusin Barrios best played by Ana Vidovic
3. Las Abejas by Augustin Barrios best played by Jason Vieaux

Piano:
Obviously it's Rachmaninoff#3 played by Ashkenazy... anyone better?
There are also great sophisticated set of Chopin ethudes that I'm lost which one is more challenging than the other so there's room to share.

How about Andres' Segovia playing "Leyenda"?

Steve Howe's guitar in "Close to the Edge"?

So many things Steve Hackett and Tony Banks did in Genesis?

"From the purely technical viewpoint the most difficult music to play might be the one not designed to be played by human."

Hmm, technology bettering humans? We know machines are better at some things. Luckily, the machines do not work without a programmer. Maybe learning to program a synthesizer while oozing charisma is the way to go :^)
