Allegretto moderato, Op.11
Violin and Piano beta difficulty
In brief

This Allegretto moderato has a restrained brightness and a singing dialogue between violin and piano, with intertwining motifs that require clear articulation to keep momentum without rushing. Technically, Phrasing (4.0/5) will require precise line control — managing bow distribution and connections to shape each phrase — and Vibrato (3.0/5) will need controlled width and speed to color notes without weighing down the line. The work is for violin and piano and is listed as Op.11, but the composer's period is noted as unknown, so treat it as a concert-salon piece where balance between the two instruments is essential.

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.
