I know, I know, repetoire grading as a topic has gotten the crap beat out of it on this forum, so read on.
I have spent the last several weeks going through virtually every post I could find in this forum that indicated the grades of pieces of music. (yeah, I know, my employers would be so proud) I took this data and compiled it into an excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet lists the grade, composer, and title. Along with this, there are also cells for technical comments, i.e. what is the main technical difficulty, etc., and there is a cell for general comments.
I took the liberty of copying the comments that people made about specific pieces when they were providing the grades. In all honesty, 99.9% of all the comments and data come from Bernhard. (Bernhard, if you have any issues with me copying your comments and putting them in this spreadsheet, please let me know, I'll remove that column from "distribution")
There are approximately 1300 pieces listed. I make no gaurantees that there aren't duplicates or errors.
Oh, I also included a sheet that has all of the Scarlatti Sonatas listed with both Kirkpatrick and Longo designations. There is a formula that allows you to enter the K# and it will spit out the L#. If you don't know how to use the formula, you can always just scroll down and find the reference.
The spread sheet is designed so that you can select by grade, by composer, or by both. Anyway, it's pretty straight forward.
If anyone is interested in a copy of this spreadsheet let me know.
A couple of items:
First: I make no claims that any of the grading is my own; I just put what was already in this forum into a spreadsheet. In other words, if you don't agree with the grading of a piece, use your number pad on your keyboard and change the cell, problem fixed.
I believe that Bernhard's source for most of the grading is ABSRM, but you'd have to check with him specifically.
Second: It's a work in process. It has reached a point where it has enough information and is in a format that I think may be useful to people who want to further customize it to their tastes, or to simply use "as is" as a reference.
Third: If a grade was given as a "+", i.e 7+, 8+, etc., I rounded down and put it as a 7 or 8, etc. Additionally, if I found conflicts in the grading of pieces, I kept the lower grading.
If you request a copy of this, please let me know what version of Excel you're running so I can save the file accordingly. I have the latest version and I don't know what its backwards compatability is.
My email is posted in my profile.
Let me know if there is any interest.
