Violin Sonata F major liv. I, 2
Violin solo
In brief

The piece has a singing, upbeat character in F major, alternating lyrical lines with more energetic passages that require maintaining a clear melodic profile. No specific technical competencies were provided for this sonata, so teacher and student will rely on the genre and the estimated difficulty (38/100): expect to work on line endurance, intonation accuracy and coherent phrasing typical of solo violin pieces. The period of composition is unknown and the sonata is listed in the composer's output without a clear chronological place. I do not give a reference recording here, as I cannot confidently point to a widely recognized interpretation of this particular 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.
