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 Sonatina in G has a bright, playful character, alternating Classical-style phrase shapes with livelier, dance-like passages that call for rhythmic clarity more than sheer virtuosity. The main technical challenges are related to Knowledge of forms (3.8/5) — you must mark and project repeats and transitions so the musical architecture is clear — and Phrasing (2.5/5), which requires small shaping gestures through subtle changes of attack and note lengths; legato (2.5/5) is also needed to connect certain lines but is secondary. It belongs to the pedagogical sonatina repertoire, intended for study rather than the composer's major concert works. I do not give a reference performance here out of caution, since there is no single widely recognized recording for this piece.
