Violin Sonata K 6
Mozart
close skills
moderate risk
to confirm
A real step up, staying in Beginner (around grade 2 ABRSM/RCM). The skill that will carry the work: Style classique and Intonation — the notes are not enough: articulation and ornaments follow performance conventions best checked in an urtext edition.

Ambitious challenge

Challenge
Violin Sonata no. 2 in D major, K.7
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
partial transfer
high risk
to confirm
An ambitious leap into Elementary (around grade 3 ABRSM/RCM) — only worth starting if the practice time is really there. New compared with the previous piece: Vibrato and Legato d'archet — what matters is a steady sustained tone: bow speed, contact point and pressure even, before any thought of speed.
Challenge
Violin sonata K 26
Mozart
close skills
high risk
to confirm
An ambitious leap into Elementary (around grade 3 ABRSM/RCM) — only worth starting if the practice time is really there. New compared with the previous piece: Changements de position and Style classique — practise it slowly, separating left hand from bow: bow alone on open strings, then the fingering silently.
The III. Minuetto of the Violin Sonata in F major, K. 13 feels pastoral and dance-like, with a poised, understated lilt rather than overt drama. You'll mainly face issues in Technique générale (2.5/5): here that means producing clean detachés and smooth string changes while keeping a light tone, and in Rythme général (2.5/5): maintaining the minuet's steady lilt through small bow pulses and an internal sense of tempo. Listed as K.13, this piece is part of Mozart's early, salon-oriented sonatas intended for teaching and domestic performance.
