The grade scale stops at 8; this work belongs to concert or diploma repertoire.
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 piece feels hymn-like and dramatic, built from broad sustained chords alternating with sharp outbursts that suggest a solemn march more than an intimate song. Technically, you will need to manage Tempo rubato (3.1/5) to shape lines without upsetting the overall pulse — here the gesture requires micro-adjustments of timing between the hands and clear slowing/returning without losing forward drive — and Pedal sustain (3.1/5) to keep chordal resonance while avoiding harmonic blurring across wide spreads. From the Romantic period, it belongs to Liszt's set of Hungarian-themed piano works and shows his tendency to create orchestral textures at the keyboard rather than small-scale salon pieces.
