Sheet music difficulty rating

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

Are there any rating schemes for sheet music or music players?

There are a bunch of reasons why I'd like to know this:

• Playing several inetruments at various skilled levels, I'd like to get a rough idea of how difficult a piece is before I buy sheet music
• When having learned a piece I'd like to know which level I have reached playing that piece of music
• When looking for a music partner we should be able to say how skilled we are before having played together to avoid disappointments for either side when starting to play

There are a lot of ratings in sports (as for tennis players, climbing routes,...) but are there rating for sheet music or musicians, too?
