About Piabase
A piano works database for finding, comparing, and understanding repertoire.
What Is Piabase?
Piabase is a piano works database that organizes and evaluates information such as difficulty, performance time, and composer details from an original perspective.
It is designed to help piano learners, teachers, and performers answer questions such as how difficult a piece is, what to study next, and which works appear in competitions.
Why Piabase Was Created
There are countless piano works, but difficulty ratings vary by source, performance times can be hard to find, and it is often difficult to compare pieces at the same level.
Piabase was created to bring this information together in a form that is easier to understand and compare.
Features
Piabase evaluates pieces from three perspectives: technique difficulty, expression difficulty, and overall difficulty.
The database includes a wide range of repertoire, from beginner materials to highly advanced works performed in international competitions.
Competition program information is also added progressively, helping with competition research, repertoire selection, and learning goals.
About Difficulty
Difficulty ratings are based on Piabase’s original criteria. They consider not only technical demands, but also musical structure, expressive range, and the level of completeness required in performance.
Difficulty may feel different depending on each performer’s background and learning environment, so please use the ratings as a reference.
Updates
Piabase continues to add and update works and related information. If you notice an error or have feedback, please contact us through the inquiry form.
Future Plans
Piabase will continue expanding its repertoire, competition data, ranking features, search tools, and content for international users.
Our goal is to make piano works easier to find, compare, and enjoy.
Operating Policy
Piabase aims to provide accurate and easy-to-understand information. Although we check content as carefully as possible, there may be errors or differences from the latest information.
Difficulty ratings represent Piabase’s own view and are not an evaluation of performers or the artistic value of any work.
