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.
The safest next step.
A genuine step up, without a jolt.
A useful leap with guided practice.
The piece sounds like a short folk melody, straightforward and speech-like, often slightly nasal or rhythmic like a village song rather than a large Romantic work. Technically, watch the Phrasing (2.5/5) — you will need to shape small, singing phrases, respecting implied breaths and melodic inflections — and the Legato (2.5/5), which requires sustaining the line between fingers and sometimes very careful right/left hand connections so the phrase remains continuous without blurring the articulation. This item belongs to Bartók’s For Children collection, a pedagogical set of folk tunes he arranged from his fieldwork on folk music. I do not give a reference performance here, as I am not certain of a single widely recognized recording for this specific piece.
