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 D major sonata feels bright and transparent, with singing phrases that alternate sparkling virtuosity and light, dance-like gestures; the energy stays in classical clarity rather than heavy drama. Among the technical challenges, the "Connaissance des formes (3.6/5)" requires understanding repeats and transitions to shape the contrasting sections — the concrete gesture is to prepare and resolve phrases by anticipating the recapitulation — and "Nuances (2.5/5)" demands precise dynamic control in the right-hand voicings and in the accompaniment to keep depth without weight. The piece belongs to Mozart's group of piano sonatas and exemplifies his typical classical language, based on formal clarity and the balance between melody and accompaniment.
