I look forward to answers to your question.

And to perhaps get the ball rolling...

One thing that i have noticed is how individual levels of difficulty can
be. A year ago, I asked a similar question on bass clarinet list about
two orchestra pieces. The comments on which was hardest and why
differed. The player who performed the concert had the easiest time with
the part i would have found most difficult.

Consistently what i myself find most difficult is length of 'fast'
sections and especially long continuing repetition.

I find Anderson's Clarinet Candy harder to play than Mozart concerto 3rd
movement.
(Of course, i don't spend as much time on CC -- it is not as rewarding.)
