Definitely a very difficult piece.
There is a host of very difficult piano literature, too many to name. It is somewhat subjective, but makes for a fun discussion. Here are a few that are technically difficult.
Chopin's E-Minor Prelude
Foo Follets by Liszt
Prokofiev's 8th sonata
Pianists: Historical - Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninov, Pederwaski 20th century: Vladimir Horowitz, Richter, Marguerite Long. Current: Lang Lang, Kissin, Ashkanazy, Helene Grimaud, Krystian Zimerman
