Where did you get those names?!?

Claude Debussy, Franz Schubert, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Frederic Chopin, Franz Liszt, and Johannes Brahms are the only ones I know of.

somebody here is very confused.  mixing psychologists (siegfried), writers (edgar), reindeer, woodchoppers (hans), and child molestors (michael) with composers!

Ok, Hans Debussy is not a composer as far as I know. At least not a famous one. Neither are the others.

All the composers you listed are the right composers' LAST names with the wrong FIRST names.

Debussy's first name is Claude.
Schubert's is Franz.
Mozart's is Wolfgang.
Chopin's is Frederic.
Liszt's is Franz.
Brahms' is Johannes.

I have NO IDEA where you got your info, but it's not right.

Hope this enlightens you.

I would probably doubt that the Schubert impromptu is gr 8...(or Gr. 10 RCM) probably easier...The Brahms may be a little harder...In Canada it is ARCT when combined with 118-1. I actually think that the #2 is harder than the #1.

Claude Debussy

- Reverie - Grade 7ish
- clair de Lune - Grade 7ish
- Arabesque - No1. Grade 8, No2. Grade 8+

Franz Schubert

- Impromptu 90:2 - haven't played this - sounds Grade 8 or so

Wolfgang Amadeus "Rudolf" Mozart

- Fantasia in D minor - Grade 6ish
- Rondo alla turca - Grade 6ish

Frederic Chopin

- Nocturne 9,1 - Grade 8

Franz Liszt

- Liebestraume - dunno

Johannes Brahms

- Intermezzo 118:2 - DipABRSM

(All grades ABRSM, some of these pieces have been on the syllabus this year so I know they're correct)

Edit: ok names corrected by request of etudes

I bet Debussy would have liked the nickname "Hans" though.  Although he probably would have liked "William" better.
