These recordings are found automatically, and the machine still gets it wrong. One click from you — yes or no — fixes the catalogue for every musician who opens this page after you. Across our 10,000 works, your answer is our only real quality check.
An arrangement or transcription is fine: if you recognise the work, answer yes. Answer no if it is a different work, a different composer, or if the recording does not play.

No account is required and no personal data is collected.
Official level, taken from the exam syllabus.
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 minuet has a restrained, dance-like character with a clear steady pulse and a singing yet economical line rather than a romantic sweep, fitting a small court or salon piece. The main technical challenges lie in Ornaments baroque (4.4/5) — you must execute ornaments with precise rhythmic placement and economical finger motion so they sit naturally in the phrase — and in Style baroque (4.4/5), which calls for clear articulation and a controlled alternation of very short legato and detached touches to keep the dance feel. The piece appears in the BWV Anhang, so its dating and attribution are uncertain and it stands outside the firmly established core of Bach’s catalogue. I do not give a recommended reference recording because I am not 100% sure of a single authoritative interpretation for this specific piece.
