8notes.com "difficulty rankings"

on: July 21, 2004, 02:37:53 AM

It had struck me before in passing that their system of ranking difficulty seemed a tad wayward, so I looked at it properly and discovered that, amongst other things.....

La Campanella is listed as being the same difficulty level as Gymnopedie no 1

oh yeah the minute waltz my god it was a toughie. whoever ranked them probably did it purely for the people who don't know what they're talking about to go straight to the challenging stuff to see if they can play it, find that they can and then think they're really fantastic
