What makes it challenging

At Henle 5 this is a late-intermediate piece — technically substantial, with musical demands to match. The main demands: continuous sixteenth-note figuration that must ripple, not chatter; precise articulation — the difference between crisp and blurred is the piece; and careful pedaling — clarity depends on the foot as much as the fingers.
