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.

This Bach prelude offers a clear rhythmic drive and a ceremonial calm, with steady bass patterns supporting singing, almost liturgical melodic figures. You will need to focus in particular on Ornaments baroque (3.1/5) — which here requires short, clean execution of trills and mordents with precise fingering and controlled timing — and on Reading bass clef (Lecture clé de fa, 3.1/5), since the left hand supplies an independent low line often far from the keyboard centre, calling for confident reading of the lower staff and secure left-hand placement/wrist stability. The piece belongs to the Baroque repertoire and reflects Bach’s organ/harpsichord practice as adapted to solo keyboard. I am not listing a reference interpretation here out of caution, but I can research well-known recordings if you wish.
