Difficulty

Along with all of the songs and pieces a piano can play, each distinct piece has its own difficulty. Difficulty of piano pieces can be divided into two major groups: Musical and technical difficulties. Musical difficulty deals with how difficulty it is to play a piece expressively and how it was meant to be by the composer. Technical difficulty deals with how hard it is to play the notes on the music. For simplicity's sake, we are going to rank the difficulties of pieces based on a blend of both. Please take note that some of the rankings in pieces are in between difficulty values. Ex: level 3.4 is between level 3 and 4.
