Chamber music by difficulty

Songs
10 pieces, rated by the hardest part

Songs and song cycles by difficulty

Songs and song cycles for a singer and pianist, and a few with an instrument as well. The level is for both: in Schubert and Schumann the piano part is a partner, not an accompaniment.

Intermediate

3 pieces
Needs a confident amateur on every part, and some practice beforehand.
Purcell · Music for a While
For voice, cello and harpsichord. Also with piano alone.
Schubert · Songs (a first selection: An die Musik, Die Forelle, Ständchen)
For voice and piano
Vaughan Williams · Songs of Travel
For voice and piano. For baritone.

Advanced

6 pieces
Standard repertoire with real technical demands. Prepare your part.
Brahms · Liebeslieder Waltzes, Op. 52
For 4 voices and 2 pianos. Soprano, alto, tenor and bass with piano four hands.
Brahms · Two Songs for Alto, Viola and Piano, Op. 91
For voice, viola and piano
Schubert · Die schöne Müllerin, D. 795
For voice and piano. For tenor or baritone.
Schubert · Winterreise, D. 911
For voice and piano. For tenor, baritone or lower voices.
Schumann · Dichterliebe, Op. 48
For voice and piano. For tenor or baritone.
Schumann · Frauenliebe und -leben, Op. 42
For voice and piano. For soprano or mezzo-soprano.

Very demanding

1 piece
Conservatory or professional level for at least one part.

For voice, clarinet and piano. For soprano.

How we rate difficulty

Each piece is rated by its hardest part, so a trio with an easy cello part and a very hard piano part counts as very demanding. Pieces with a link have their own page, with a level for each part and tips for reading it together. It’s our own rough guide; see the full list to filter by instrument and level together.
