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.

These pieces form a set of brief, shifting character pieces where the mood moves quickly from playful charm to gentle melancholy, requiring a wide palette of colors and nuanced inflections without sentimentality. You will be specifically challenged by Tempo rubato (3.1/5), which demands fine pulse control: on the violin this means measured adjustments of attack and phrasing with the right hand to let lines breathe while staying ensemble-tight with the piano, and by Style romantique (3.1/5), which calls for careful tone shaping (contained vibrato, tasteful portamento) and expressive intensity matched to each miniature. From the Romantic period, the set fits among the composer's salon pieces and short cycles for violin and piano, intended for intimate expression rather than large-scale forms. I do not give a reference recording here, since I am not 100% certain which interpretation of this particular set is widely recognized.
