Can anyone tell me what grade the pieces from schummans kinderszenen are. I have the complete set and most look managabe but i would really like to know what grade they are! Thanks

I'm afraid I can't help but I was wondering if you meant your username to be Gradedpiano rather than Gradedpaino???

If so you might want to see if the mods can change it for you!

I think they're around Grade 5-7 - I know one of them was in my Grade 5 book (2009-2010).

I'd say the range is broader than that, from relatively easy (doable at Grade 4,) to quite difficult (requires post-Grade 8 skills).

If you are looking for something a little easier (some pieces ... not all of them!) look at his 'Album for the Young'. That looks to me as though it was written as a tutor book for aspiring pianists - a musically superior tutor.

Yes , certainly the first piece has been set for Gr 5. Traumerei for Grade 7.
The last piece is may be Grade 4. Most are Grade 6-7, a couple bordering on Grade 8.
So quite a range, whcih makes them useful to learn the whole lot over a long period of time.
Mendelssohns 'Songs with out Words' are the best example of this , with 48 pieces from Grade 4/5 up to Dip level. The same can be said for Griegs' Lyric Pieces'

yeah i did lol, thanks for pointing that out

thanks for replies everyone, thats really helped.

I love these pieces for piano.

I have done an arrangement of 7.Traumerie (Dreaming) for clarinet quartet which is available to print out for free, and also listen to.
