Estimated from our difficulty score, not taken from an exam syllabus. Checked against 333 works on the ABRSM syllabus: the exact grade is right 7 times out of 10, and within one grade 99 times out of 100.
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.

Ce II. Andante déploie une mélodie chantante et respirée, aux contours nets mais teintée d'une nostalgie contenue plutôt que d'un lyrisme expansif ; l'atmosphère est calme, presque intime, avec des phrases qui demandent de la souplesse dans la respiration. Technique : Vibrato (3.6/5) — ici il faudra stabiliser un vibrato chaud et modéré sur les longues notes tenues pour conserver la ligne vocale sans exagérer la largeur ni la vitesse, et Tempo rubato (3.1/5) — le geste implique de petites soustractions et reprises de temps, mesurées et coordonnées avec le piano pour conserver l'élan sans perdre la pulsation sous-jacente. Œuvre de la période romantique, cette sonate figure parmi les premières œuvres pour violon et piano du compositeur et s'inscrit dans la tradition de la sonate romantique pour instruments à cordes et clavier.
