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.

Rudepoêma projects a raw, orchestral piano character, with frenetic passages where massive chords and abrupt bursts of energy create concrete tension rather than simple lyricism. You will notably face Polyrhythmie 2 contre 3 (3.1/5), which requires isolating and layering distinct rhythmic groupings while maintaining an internal pulse (gesture: clear subdivision by hand and targeted accents so each rhythmic strand remains audible), and Doubles notes (2.5/5), which demand even attack and finger independence to present the two voices together without losing power. From Villa-Lobos's modern period, the work stands out in his output for its dense, orchestral piano writing and focus on texture and contrast.
