what level is this?

Question

I mean, what level of piano skills do you need to play it?

any suggestions on pieces of a similar difficulty level?

if you know the piece and don't want to follow the link, it's MENDELSSOHN OP. 30 NO 6

Answer 1

I love this song, and I have played it. I never considered myself beyond intermediate (maybe intermediate towards advanced). It's not an overly difficult song, but it takes some practice especially with the rhythm.

For a similar song- Chopin's Valse 69 Opus 2 is a nice one:

Good luck!

This is what I"d consider in "advanced" Another favorite- no I couldn't play this one!

Answer 2

That Youtube video is interesting as the pianist is out of synchronization with the recording.
The skill level to play most Mendelssohn is at a minimum level four. Students in high school cannot adequately comprehend his music and few can interpret it correctly, if not properly.
A competent collegiate pianist can comprehend Mendelssohn, but most will not, because his music requires extreme interpretive skill to begin sounding well.
Perhaps if you were to supply a video of YOU playing something, one might possibly recommend a good composition for your skills.
