This collection features selected piano works, likely designed to showcase technical brilliance and musical expression. The pieces are known for their engaging melodies and demanding passagework, typical of salon music from the Romantic era.
Mastering rapid arpeggiated figures and developing controlled pedaling are the primary challenges.
Ausgewählte Clavier-Werke is rated Henle level 5 of 9 — late intermediate repertoire, roughly ABRSM grades 6–7. In the RCM system it corresponds to about level 7.
You should be comfortable at Henle level 5 — meaning you can already play level 4–5 pieces cleanly. Learning it one level early is possible as a stretch piece, but more than that usually leads to months of frustration.
