Is Turkish March a hard song?

Re: What level is Mozart's Turkish March? Originally posted by drumour: "It seems that this is a graded system from 1 (easiest) through 8 (most difficult)." Most difficult, that is, pre- professional diploma exams and the like.

Thank you for providing that link.

[Edit] I may have to reconsider my above remarks :

All eight of the Chopin Etudes listed - not the most difficult ones, admittedly - (Op 10: 3, 6, 9, 12; Op 25: 1, 2, 7, and 9) are grade 8, yet the Nocturne Op 9, No 3 is listed as grade 10, the Preludes 5, 12, 16, 18, 19, and 24 are listed as grade 10. Well, maybe; but I wonder if there is that much difference.

Are the Samuel Barber "Excursions" more difficult than all of the Beethoven Sonatas?

Well, I'm sure I'm quibbling over small details. I will modify my first comment and say that this might be "relatively useful" to some.
