Funeral March in C minor, K.453a
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Same level
Andantino in D minor, H.108, Wq.116, no. 18
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
30/100 +2 pts 2-3 weeks
close skills low risk to confirm
Equivalent demands, still Elementary (around grade 3 ABRSM/RCM): what changes is the ground. What changes is the skill in play: Ornements romantiques and Style classique — ornaments must be secure before the piece goes up to tempo, otherwise they break the line instead of decorating it.
Progressions computed from difficulty, skill overlap and style between works. A What do we play next? recommendation should remain a pedagogical starting point, not an automatic prescription.
