 Suggested meaning of difficulty: how much effort is required to prepare for performance.  This could cover several kinds of difficulty.  But it depends also on the player.
 
 If the question is simply which pieces have the hardest notes & techniques, there's pieces by Ferneyhough and like-minded composers that are ridiculously complicated.  Sorry I don't seem to remember the names of the individual pieces, they've unaccountably disappeared from my memory.

 That Crusell doesn't sound very hard.  Maybe Radovan could explain the intent of replying with it to this thread.

 The Magnus Lindberg clarinet concerto heats up quite a bit on some parts.

 A bad reed will turn the easiest of pieces into your most difficult playing endeavor.
