Nowhere near as difficult as many of Liszt's other works (e.g. S. 253, S. 420, S. 700ii, S. 464, S. 137, S. 140, etc.) that deserve 10s. Does not deserve a 10.

Ballade No 1 in G minor Op 23

Playing the rest of the piece with emotion is harder than playing the coda accurately. The coda isn't that hard, takes about a month to learn.
