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.
One rarely plays the whole work: each movement has its own level — often very different from the opus's overall score.
Each suggestion combines difficulty gap, risk, confidence and skill overlap. The first two cards in each column are the most useful pedagogically.

The sonata radiates the clear, poised brightness of Viennese Classicism, alternating sparkling virtuosic episodes with subtle, lyrical passages that require clean articulation and a sustained singing line. You will need to work on Connaissance des formes (3.6/5) to identify expositions, developments and recapitulations clearly so you can shape tensions and breaths — here that means anticipating repeats and sculpting phrases so cadences feel like conclusions rather than isolated stops. This piece comes from Mozart’s Classical period and represents a later contribution to his piano output, combining contrapuntal skill with formal clarity. I do not provide a recommended recording because I prefer not to cite a specific interpretation unless I am fully certain of its attribution.
