IMHO, it is technically easy (grade 5 out of 10), musically difficult and quite enjoyable to play. The slow section after the cadenza-like opening, is particularily beautiful. And it ends up-tempo with impressive high and fast notes. Good luck, and enjoy!!!!!!!!

Rabaud Solo de Concours was made for Graduate Examination of Paris
Concervatoir of music. This means it must be 'technically' difficult. But
you have to manifest your technical ability. Such kind of piece.
Rabaud is rather pettier composer than Schuman, Brahams, Mozart, and even
Rossini. I do not identify so much musical value in this piece. IMHO.

By the way, if you like to know how this piece should be played, MMO-Laureate
series have a CD, in which late Harold Wright plays this piece. If you can play
like him, you can say it is 'easy'. I cannot. To my sorry.
