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 reads as a short, songlike melody with a lightly dancing character and subtle accents that call for clear phrasing rather than virtuosity. As to technical issues, the listed skill « Rythme général (2.5/5) » is most relevant here: you must keep a steady pulse and be able to subdivide values so the metric accents feel natural, which requires controlled wrist and finger action to smooth out rhythmic unevenness without forcing the touch. It belongs to Bartók's For Children collection, written as pedagogical material for piano and therefore occupies a didactic place in his output rather than a concert piece. I do not provide a reference performance because I am not fully certain of a specific recording for this exact melody.
