Unless he means "classical" in the strict sense (which I doubt since I'd 
tend to call the Moonlight sonata early- or transition-romantic anyway) 
then I'm also talking about the same type of music.  Even if you exclude 
the really insane avant-garde pieces there's plenty of normal classical 
  (in the general sense) piano music which is harder than the Moonlight 
Sonata.

Also, my understanding is that Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz was written 
as a piece of music-notational art (or a notational joke) and as not 
intended to actually be played, so I wasn't counting it (as well as any 
number of electronic or player piano pieces which would also be 
impossible to actually perform).
