level of difficulty- where can you find a rating for a classical piece?
on: February 11, 2011, 06:10:08 PM
I am trying to find a site online where I can see how a piece is evaluated by level of difficulty (1-10 or some standard system)

Thanks. The link in that discussion was good but fairly limited. I have done some searches but can't seem to find a level of difficulty rating for Chopin's pieces, specifically. I am open to any other suggestions.

I believe there is such rankings on this site:

or go to 'piano music' and click on 'complete list'

Too bad almost every piece is grade 8 or 8+.
For example, Chopin's Revolutionary etude was given an 8+ as well as Gaspard de la Nuit. Gaspard de la Nuit is WAY harder than the Revolutionary etude.
They should be a little more sensitive with the grading scale. maybe from 1 to 100?

There is a website called Graded Piano Repertoire that grades piano solos from level 1-12 and compares different grading systems. It is a piano repertoire guide that also provides a lot of other information on the pieces in the database:

Thanks, monkeydudexd, for showing where there is a listing. On the basis of it, I've just discovered that I've been doing a multititude of grade 8 or 8+ pieces, and it's getting me really angry with certain people in this forum who impugned my qualifications to comment on a lot of the issues here.

Pretty useless, as already been mentioned. Not enough grade nuances.
Prokofievs 3de concert 8+ together with a whole lot other 8+s, come on.
And afterwards, piano pieces cannot be graded. Remember what Shnabel said on Mozarts sonates:
'Too easy for beginners.....' you know.

You can also find a bunch of gradings based on examination syllabuses at
