Sonate D.664 : III. Allegro
Romantic Sonata Piano solo
In brief

The III. Allegro of Sonata D.664 feels sprightly and dance-like, with rhythmic-melodic interruptions that call for light, forward motion rather than heavy romantic broadness. You will face concrete challenges in Connaissance des formes (3.6/5), which here mean adjusting breath and the balance between right and left hand to articulate repeats and section transitions, and in Analyse harmonique (3.6/5), which helps you anticipate quick modulations and place voicings with steady fingers instead of abrupt weight shifts. From the Romantic period, this sonata stands as a relatively concise, lyrical piano work in Schubert's output, noted for its charm compared with his larger-scale sonatas.

These recordings are found automatically, and the machine still gets it wrong. One click from you — yes or no — fixes the catalogue for every musician who opens this page after you. Across our 10,000 works, your answer is our only real quality check.

An arrangement or transcription is fine: if you recognise the work, answer yes. Answer no if it is a different work, a different composer, or if the recording does not play.

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.
