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.

This movement feels lively and dance-like, alternating crisp, articulated figuration with singing lines that require lightness and clear articulation to keep the contrapuntal textures readable. You will face specific technical challenges in Reading bass clef (Lecture clé de fa) (3.1/5) — reading and tracking the alto/continuo lines and spotting quick tessitura shifts — and in Baroque ornaments (Ornements baroque) (3.1/5), which call for short, precise gestures to execute trills and appoggiaturas within the phrase without weighing it down; Touch control (Contrôle du toucher) (2.5/5) matters for shaping attacks between detached and connected notes. As a work of the Italian Baroque, it belongs to Tartini’s concertante output, illustrating his blend of lyrical writing and violin virtuosity.
