10 Levels Of Piano 

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING! UPDATE 3: Yes. I know that some of you are 12 and already know how to play all the Transcendental Etudes blindfolded, with one finger. Sure, you are far better than me. No, you don't need to humble brag about it in the comments. True pianists keep that to themselves. UPDATE 2: The piece I rated as level 1 is "Au Clair de la lune", NOT "Clair de Lune". One is a nursery rhyme, one is a Debussy piece. UPDATE 1: I've been asked many times to rate what level some pieces are, so I've prepared a list featuring some of the most common: Moonlight Sonata, 3rd Mvt: Level 7.5 Pathetique Sonata, 1st Mvt: Level 6.5 Pathetique Sonata, entire piece: Level 7 Hungarian Dance N.5 (Easy Version): Level 3 Hungarian Dance N.5 (Original Version): Level 7 Most of Bach's 3 part inventions: Anywhere from Level 4-6 Hammerklavier Sonata: Level 10+ Transcendental Etude No. 4 and 5: Level 10+ Paganini Etudes 3 and 6 (La Campanella and Caprice No. 24): Level 10 Flight of the Bumblebee (Rachmaninoff Transcription): Level 8.5 Chopin Ballades: Level 9+ (Taking into account interpretation) Ravel-Scarbo: Level 10+ Ravel-Ondine: Level 10 HR6: Level 10 Reverie (Debussy): Level 5 Etude Op.10 No.4-Torrent: Level 9+ Grand Galop Chromatique: Level 10 Rach Prelude No.3: Level 5.5 Rach Prelude Op. 23 No. 5: Level 7 Clair De Lune: Level 5.5 Chopin-Grand Valse Brilliante: Level 6 Note that this is my personal opinion, and does not reflect what others may think!

*Everybody gangsta till the time signature changes to 1/66*

I love how Asian is officially recognized throughout the internet as a unit of measurement for difficulty lol

"Asian" "Asian with Glasses" *Cites European white composers during both songs and every "other pieces" song*

This is a logarithmic scale, 10x harder at each level

The composer of Level 10+ really put an amusement park in the sheet music

Liszt at level 7: *sigh* here I come guys..

I think having a mistake counter is sad, most of those music isn't about mistake but feelings...

Finally a realistic video that doesn’t have pieces like flight of the bumblebee as level 5-😂👏🏻

weirdly, this has given me a lot of confidence. I was essentially an irresponsible loser for about 6 years, hardly touched the piano etc, and hadn’t really made much progress to start with (started later in life). Still, I’m like a shaggy intermediate. Good to know and encouraging.

I am level 9. Through playing the piano, I have successfully changed my race to Asian. Someday I hope to reach the coveted title of "Asian With Glasses" 😂

I have just noticed the ''Mistakes counter: pathetic'' and I couldn't help but roll on the carpet

It's hard to imagine none of those composers was Asian...

Me : no pb with winterwind or other etudes from Chopin. Me : struggles with La Fantaisie Impromptue My Teacher : WHY EVEN

After almost 10 years of playing the piano, I am proud to announce that I'm a level 2 pianist

Wait, I am Asian with glasses but so sad didn’t know how to played this hard lol

4:30 I love how it went from 14 mistakes to 69, then to 420 then to pathetic. Well done bro. Btw I get the 420 train home from school every day and I’m proud of it 😌

when u can play pathetique 2nd movement but not fur elise

Yooo wasn’t that lvl 10 one played in a tom and jerry episode or am I wrong

The last level should be named“russian“ (Horowitz, Rachmaninov, Katia buvunshivili i forgot how her name is written, Alexandra dovgan , Volodos , sokolov ...

After around 14 years of playing I can proudly say that I am a high class Level 5-6 🤣

Level 11: Gaspard de la Nuit, Islamey, Brahms Variations on a Theme by Paganini Level 12: Liszt 4th Paganini etude (1838 version)

I died laughing when I saw Asian with glasses 🤣

5:15 looks more like an Egyptian heiroglyph rather than a music sheet lol

You know, piano is surprisingly underrated. We may not know this because we already love it so much. And I'm really glad you are not masking your mistakes. You are admitting them which is great. Even someone really experienced makes mistakes. And people can play beautifully behind camera but can be really nervous and so make mistakes on camera. I have been playing for 27 years which seems very much now that I look at it. This is what I love and it's nice you love it too. Don't let anyone tell you you are bad because you are not. Keep it up and please let's keep it real. 🙂

Being a Level 7 after 8 years of learning seems fine to me. I'm not Asian either, yet I someday hope to convert my race, so I can play some Liszt too lmao

Level 10+ sheet looks like an IKEA manual🤣

no the level 0.00 should be the absolute ramdom notes

Kinda questioning my musical "talent" right now. Great work :D

My teacher is Philippino and has glasses and he's super saying level 😭

Him: mistake counter: pathetic Me: i didn’t hear you make any mistakes 😂

Guys chill out it's a comedy video. Remember that these levels arent actually a thing, and you can be level max on one peice and level min on another, but thats not your piano level.. also theres no levels, this isnt an anime combat system. And there's not really a difference between typing on a keyboard and playing piano, so it's best to have your own style and write and improvise. Also a youtube video so it's designed to be annoying and obnoxious to get clicks.

I didn't know that I was an Asian. The fact that I wear glasses is also new to me 😅

5:07 the more I look at this image, the more it gets cursed

Hey! I'm an undergraduate piano performance major, who played the tempest sonata for my freshman jury. One thing I noticed in your playing is you treat the triplets like 8th notes. Idk if u did this intentionally but check it out again

I seem to be Level 5..... AFTER 10 YEARS OF PLAYING THE PIANO. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Level 0: first day of piano Level 1: maybe first week of piano Level 2: maybe first month of piano Level 3: sounds difficult, actually isn't Level 4: you now officially know enough piano to start having fun with it Level 5: now you start to actually need technique and have your first difficult runs Level 6: a few difficult runs but nothing too bad Level 7: OK this is actually getting slightly difficult but not anything a bit of practice can't mitigate Level 8: fingers are now hurting, practice needs to be here at the max Level 9: fingers now hurt no matter what, help Level 10: I paid for the whole piano and I am going to use the whole piano Level 11: I paid for the whole piano so I'm going to use the whole piano AND make my hands hurt constantly Level 12: asian

Hello, why couldn't you Try Remaking A Daddy Grand Piano by putting on 88 Tuning Forks like what you did on an Upright Piano, Please do the Same Thing on a Daddy Grand Piano For Most of us RU-vidrs, It will be a much Better Idea For us so we can Try and See and Hear It Hin Lun Chen Thank You.

When you're small hands gang so even as a university music student, the levels become difficult but exponentially :'(

Hey , could you post a video of you playing prelude and fuge no.2 by bach Just a request for a piece

This really put into perspective how unskilled I really am at piano even after 6 or 7 years

I am level 7 I can play : Fantasie impromptu op 66 Impromptu op 90 no 2 Pathetique sonata complete XD

just want to say, you are very talented! And it’s cool that you put the levels in the video of different pieces(there are 5 of them that I really want to learn one day, so I know what order to learn them in then aha) . Have a great day!

Me thinking I’m level 6, scraping 7, and then I see Revolutionary Etude at level 9, which I’m learning right now💀

Just that annoying person who wants to had that the French song at the beginning is actually "Ah! vous dirais-je Maman". The pronunciation is the same but this time it means something lmao (an English translation would be: "Ah!" would I say to you, mom... You need the whole context to understand tho) Great vid, keep it up 👍😂

Wait let me get my glasses so I can play Hungarian rhapsody

There are 2 sides of Don Juan: - Minuet from Don Juan - Reminescences de Don Juan (and also Chopin's Op. 2 Variations)

I’m at level: drummer

Dude I played Mendelssohn rondo when I was just 13(now I'm 15). It was hard but not "as" hard. And I didn't just play it like I wasn't supposed to play it cuz I'm not good for it but I legit played it. (7yrs of piano playing) now I can play it a lot better..... Nice video 🔥you very good at playing the piano.

I can play the Sheet Music Boss version of In the Hall of the Mountain King, but without the octave parts for the main melody, which is partially because my piano is too small, I'm guessing that's like level 2.

Im an Asian with glasses, but the hardest pieces I can play are all exactly "level 7", lol, Liebesträume No. 3, Fantaisie-Impromptu, Impromptu D.899-2/Op. 90-2 (all a bit rusty), but most perfect Pathetic Sonata, even though it's very draining since I use up all my energy

This is really cool, but La Campanella shouldn’t be Lvl 10, it’s more like 9.5. What Lvl do you think modern composers (20th century) are in?

So good wow! Asian with glasses😂

4:30 liszt is dissapointed xd

Lmao bruh, Heart and Soul is adapted to be for noobs, the actual piano piece is nowhere near "lvl 1" lol

I am level 7.5 because. I can play moonlight sonata

Nice to know I'm at level 5 (Barely). There's alot of pieces I wanna play and it'll probably take a really long while before I actually get to play them. But it's a good feeling to know that you managed to make progress. The better I get, the closer I become to being able to play what I want.

Idk why but as an Asian I went from Fantasie Impromptu to waterfall etude

„Arranged by accident“

I thought my level was a begginer. Turns put I am between a pre-intermediate intermediate

I didn't realise Sonatina Op. 36 No. 1 by Clementi was "level 3". I started learning as an adult in March with no prior musical training, so ... That's reassurance I'm doing well, I guess. :D

I have officially changed my race to „asian“ lol

Great job! Btw only I think Traumerei is harder than K545 By Mozart? Lol Anyway I enjoyed the last piece (prelude no 3), but it's too easy

Ooh fellow Hong Konger (I see the location tag) Sad that I’m an Asian with glasses but I’m at level 5 :(

funny enough i had more problems trying to learn impromptu than the whole fucking moonlight sonata

level 0: chopstick level 1: twinkle twinkle little star level 2: minuet in G level 3: für elise level 4: mozart k.545 level 5: turkish march level 6: mozart k.332 level 7: schubert impromptu No.2 level 8: mozart k.310 level 9: beethoven tempest level 9+: chopin waterfall level 10: la campanella level 10+: ravel scarbo level 11: lizst 4th paganini etude 1838 version level 11+: liszt grande fantasia de bravorue sur La clochette level 12: liszt grande fantasia da concerto su temi spagnoli level 12+: death walts level 13: RUSH E level 13+: nyan trolololo impossible remix level 14: bendy and ink machine impossible remix level 14+: mountain king impossible remix level 15: septette for the dead princess black midi

I'm 15 and I'm now playing the apassionata, maybe I just put it into the 7th or 8th level. But I enjoy a lot this video. ¡¡Congratulations!!

Hey, great video! I know i'm late but what level would you say is mozart k280 sonata in F major? Thanks!

Level 10 is so funny, and everybody knows that you're not pathetic. Like your video, bro.

I’m 12 at level 7 idk if that’s gud r not

As a part Asian who plays Piano, Guitar, Trombone, and Baritone! I can confirm this is accurate!

Im currently at 5 with 4 years of practice :(

Level 7: chill Level 8: time to practice...

Hardest piece I’ve played was Chopin 2nd scherzo, so like level 7-8?

level 10+: was wrote by LENIN AND STALIN the only one who can play: AsIaN wIth AloT oF GLaSseS aNd PlaY wiTh hAmMeR AnD StiCk

nice video. according to this im prob learning lvl 7 songs this summer

I think traumerei is a difficult piece to play musically.

Ravel's Scarbo would like a talk

where would you rank maple leaf rag? anyone else can give their opinion i was just wondering because i just learned that piece and i wanted an idea of where to go next and what i can handle

Wait how am I level 5 lol I gained confidence

I guess I'm level 6-7 prob closer to 7 granted I don't really practice anymore lol. But in all seriousness I almost thought this video was pathetic when i was at level 10 as I know there are harder pieces than Hungarian rhapsody 2. But level 10+ came and it proved that this is not one of those "troll ones" which just put hungarian rhapsody 2, moonlight sonata 3rd movement, fantasie impromptu, la campanella, etc. as the hardest pieces

I will watch your carrer with great interest.

Random thought: Would the "derivative" of the mistakes counter be an accurate representation of the difficulty of a piece, all other things being equal?

5:06 Ling Ling would be able to sight-read that AND improvise on it.

i don’t know man about the 12 year olds playing études blindfolded one finger but your doing REALLY well so far it doesn’t really matter about age more about your technique and heart in your pieces yk so keep going your doing great

Me seeing this: oh im pretty good in playing Liebestraum no 3. It means I'm at 7 lvl, right? Probably my piano teacher seeing this: no, -7 is good. Don't be too cocky

I'm like level 4 or 5 and I've been learning to play piano for about two years so this made me feel good about my progress😅

i'm around lv.5 LMAO i have a lot of work to do💀💀 i'm playing intermezzo by manuel ponce right now, i don't know what level that would be though

5:08 "Arranged by Accident" 🤣

I’m at the End of level five

And " Grand galop chromatique" - Liszt, Is it harder? 🤔

What rating would you give scriabin's fourth sonata? Each movement on it's own of course...

I think Beethoven sonata no21 is absolutely much much more playable compared to other pieces of lv9+ list

Level 11: Russian Liszt Sonata Rachmaninoff Sonatas Alkan Le Preux Liszt Rhapsodie Espagnole Debussy Feux d'Artifice

I just learned the first movement of pathetique, which i am very happy about, and i have been playing piano for about 3 years

As an asian- okey ive been playing since almost 1 year and level 3, i really like piano and im hopefully going to be level 4 at the end of this year, piano really helps me calm down, especially since i am not the best student out ther (who said asians were smart??) yea just got a D on latin update lmao do i get deja vu cause my latin test is on thursday :/ anyways how would one rate bach invention 8 and 14 cause i am currecntly working on those

I love how you marked level 9+ as Asian lol

Bruh, im still at level 5 :L

Great. Hungarian rhapsody 2 is level 10!

Liszt is asian confirmed? 😁
