What to play next?
Each suggestion combines difficulty gap, risk, confidence and skill overlap. The first two cards in each column are the most useful pedagogically.
Balanced step
A genuine step up, without a jolt.
Ambitious challenge
A useful leap with guided practice.
Challenge
Violin Sonata in G Major, K. 9
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: Vibrato and Legato d'archet — what matters is a steady sustained tone: bow speed, contact point and pressure even, before any thought of speed.

Violin sonata K 8
