Singode: Belinde, H.695, Wq.112, no. 14
Classical Piano solo ~4 min
In brief

This piece creates a delicate, song-like atmosphere, alternating graceful phrases with held breaths that require careful attention to legato and melodic continuity. You will particularly face the skill « Connaissance des formes (3.1/5) », which here means identifying thematic cells and their returns to shape transitions without upsetting the formal balance, and « Phrasé (2.5/5) », which calls for a flexible hand gesture and well-placed supports to sculpt each line like a small vocal phrase. It belongs to the Classical period and sits among the composer's keyboard pieces where formal clarity meets intimate expression. I do not provide a recommended recording because I am not certain of a single widely recognized interpretation for this exact work.

Where this work sits
050100

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.
