Estimated from our difficulty score, not taken from an exam syllabus. Checked against 333 works on the ABRSM syllabus: the exact grade is right 7 times out of 10, and within one grade 99 times out of 100.
Difficulty estimate by MusicCoach on a scale of 1 to 100.
Most works cluster between 45 and 65: a small score gap often marks a real step. The highlighted bar shows this work among those for the same instrument.
The MusicCoach difficulty measures a work's overall demands (technique, reading, stamina) on a shared 0-100 scale, consolidated from editorial and pedagogical reference points (Henle, exam syllabuses, curation) and our own analyses. It measures neither musical value nor the practice time YOU will need: two musicians of the same level can experience the same work very differently depending on their strengths (hands used to octaves, quick sight-reading…). The confidence reflects how many reference points sit behind the score and how well they agree — a lightly documented score is flagged “to validate”. For a truly personal bearing, the diagnostic and your space compare each work to YOUR estimated level, which the score alone cannot do.
Does this rating look right to you?
This rating is computed automatically from heterogeneous sources. It gets things wrong, sometimes badly. If you know this work, your answer is worth more than our computation: it tells us which ratings to review.
Each suggestion combines difficulty gap, risk, confidence and skill overlap. The first two cards in each column are the most useful pedagogically.

This set of short pieces conveys a nocturnal, fragmentary mood, often concise and meditative with sudden bursts of color that suggest evocation rather than narrative. Practically speaking: Polyrhythmie 2 contre 3 (3.1/5) requires clear hand independence — keeping a steady pulse in one hand while the other shapes ternary groups — and Style impressionniste (3.1/5) calls for refined touch and pedaling to shape harmonic color and sonic layers. The work belongs to Hindemith's modern period as a collection of piano miniatures exploring concision and contrapuntal clarity on a small scale. I do not give a reference performance because I cannot be absolutely certain of a specific authoritative recording for this piece.
