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.

This Sonata in A major, Op. 66 unfolds in a dreamy yet taut mood, with chromatic surges that create a sense of inner poetic questioning rather than straightforward lyricism. Technically, you will need to focus on Connaissance des formes (3.6/5) to map the main thematic cells and their returns so the musical narrative stays clear, and on Tempo rubato (3.1/5), which here requires small internal slackenings and tightenings without losing harmonic direction or overall momentum. Composed in Scriabin's late-romantic phase, it sits among his advanced piano works where intimate expression and harmonic ambiguity become central.
