User:Valjean/Henle difficulty ranking

The Henle difficulty ranking is a "level of difficulty" scale for musical works developed by the German music publishing house G. Henle Verlag. The publishing house's entire repertoire for piano (author: Rolf Koenen), violin (Ernst Schliephake), flute (András Adorján), and cello has been classified into difficulty levels from 1–9: Easy (1–3), Medium (4–6), and Difficult (7–9). The classifications are intended to make it easier to find suitable pieces for a particular level of ability.

Examples
For example, Johann Sebastian Bach's Prelude in C major from The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1, has been classified as "moderately easy" (grade 2 out of 9),
