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 Fantasy and Sonata in C minor unfolds as a tense interplay between introspective episodes and dramatic outbursts, with tempo shifts and quasi-improvised responses that require careful shaping of the musical line. Technically, the skill Nuances (4.4/5) here means very fine control of touch and dynamics across rapid transitions, and Analysis harmonique (4.4/5) requires spotting modulations and harmonic pivots to place accents and prepare resolutions; concretely you will need to grade attacks and distribute breaths within harmonic progressions. The piece belongs to Mozart's solo piano repertoire and sits among works that blend sonata structure with the improvisatory character of a fantasy. I do not provide a reference recording to avoid suggesting names I am not fully certain about.
