How hard is Henle Level 7?
Yet I gladly take up this great challenge, presented to me by G. Henle Publishers.
...
The levels of difficulty of the piano music published by G. Henle Publishers.
| Level | gradetable | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | difficult | Beethoven, Piano Sonata op. 10, no. 3 |
| 8 | Beethoven, Piano Sonata op. 81a | |
| 9 | Schumann, Toccata op. 7 |
Is ABRSM Grade 8 equivalent to a level?
The simple answer is: yes (but it's not quite that simple). Grade 8 piano is classed as a Level 3 qualification in the UK. Level 3 qualifications include A-levels, amongst other qualifications. This means that Grade 8 is the equivalent of an A-level in that it falls in the same classification bracket as A-Levels.
Is Henle Level 6 GOOD?
Often these won't be attacked for a good 3–6 years in ordinary graded programs (like ABRSM or RCM). Henle level 6 (what they call “medium” or perhaps “intermediate”) pieces roughly correspond to beginning university repertoire, such as Liszt's Liebesträume.
Is ABRSM harder than RCM?
Difficulty level
In general, grade 4 ABRSM is a little more difficult than grade 4 RCM (though you don't have to learn as many pieces). Pieces at a grade 4 ABRSM level range from a grade 4-7 level in the RCM.
