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.

The piece has an energetic, somewhat martial character, with sharp accents and stretches that require maintaining clear drive while allowing lyrical moments. Technical points to work on: Tempo rubato (3.1/5) — you will need to shape phrases with slight local tempo fluctuations while always returning to the underlying pulse, which means micro-adjustments of the right hand and wrist to anticipate or delay attacks without losing the rhythmic line; Sustain pedal (3.1/5) — precise use of the sustain pedal to connect chords and soften harmonic shifts without creating blurriness, requiring quick releases and discreet pedaling. Listed as belonging to the 'romantic' period, the piece sits among the composer's piano solo works and balances virtuosity with song-like passages, occupying a role within his piano repertoire. I do not provide a specific reference recording here because I am not 100% certain of a canonical interpretation for this piece.
