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 little salon waltz feels sprightly and bouncy, built from short motifs that require a light propulsion to keep the dance flowing without becoming heavy. Technically, pay attention to the Phrasing (3.9/5) — you will need to shape the small melodic lines with nuanced attacks and slight dynamic tapering so each motif breathes — and to Legato (2.5/5), which calls for preserving smooth connections between notes despite hand shifts and brief rhythmic breaks. The piece belongs to Diabelli’s short salon piano pieces rather than his large-scale works; its exact period of composition is not clearly established. I am not giving a reference interpretation here because I cannot be fully certain of a definitive recording for this particular piece.
