Level Key:

I (Easy) Moderate tempo(s), straightforward rhythms (or rhythms completely free), mainly diatonic. All extended techniques, 1/4 or microtones are slow, so there is time to set them up.

II (Medium) Faster tempos, but the really rapid passages are diatonic/chromatic (no difficult microtonal passages), may include the more unusual time signatures.

III (Difficult) Includes rapid passages that may have some micro-tones or quarter-tones, difficult multiphonics or other extended techniques, complex rhythms, may use 4th octave notes above high D.

IV (Very Difficult) May include rapid micro-tone or quarter-tone passages, high degree of rhythmic complexity, extremes of range (may include extended passages above high D), difficult multiphonics, rapid changes from one extended technique to another, and a general high level of energy. These pieces should be real tests of endurance.
