The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street
In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

It all happens on Discworld, where greed and ignorance influence human behavior... and perfectly ordinary people occasionally act like raving idiots.

A world, in short, totally unlike our own.

i've been looking for you and wish that i had the score to just look at.  listened to the first one ('des abends') and found it on a level 8 (9 being professional pianist) according to www.music-scores.com/piano/composer.php?pageNum_composer=28&totalRows_composer=530

according to www.edexcel.org.uk/VirtualContent/48910/web_version.pdf

'warum' is about grade 7

looking for more lists.  bernhard's are great if you can find.  perhaps he will take a look at these and grade.  or, you can compare difficulty levels with other pieces that you know the levels of.  the more notes, the higher the level (is the simplest idea) - but, of course, there is more to it than that.  also, what techniques are involved to play the piece.
