Any thoughts on where David Nevue's Wonderland would be graded on an AMEB Piano for Leisure or ABRSM scale?

If you look on David's webpage, http://www.davidnevue.com/sheetmusic.htm, you'll see all his music ranked in order of difficulty by a "coalition of fans and piano teachers." Wonderland is ranked one of the easiest, and David points out that none of his music is as complicated as Chopin. So my guess is that in ABRSM terms Wonderland would be at a low level.

Having said that, in order to play it with emotion and make it sound as beautiful as it can be, I believe takes skill and a good feeling for the music. If you play it well, everyone who hears it will think you are an accomplished musician! My opinion anyway, I'd be glad to hear what other people think.

Thanks for that- looks like I might have to find something else and leave this one in the "for fun" category.
