Adieu
Jules Auguste Salomon Garcin

low risk
to confirm
A short step up, staying in Elementary (around grade 3 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Technique générale — practise it slowly, separating left hand from bow: bow alone on open strings, then the fingering silently.
Gentle
Violin Sonata in G Major, K. 9
Mozart
new reflexes
low risk
to confirm
A short step up, staying in Elementary (around grade 3 ABRSM/RCM). 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.
Balanced step
A genuine step up, without a jolt.
Balanced

Ludwig van Beethoven
new reflexes
moderate risk
to confirm
A real step up, staying in Elementary (around grade 4 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Vibrato and Style classique — what matters is a steady sustained tone: bow speed, contact point and pressure even, before any thought of speed.

Appendix: Violin Sonata (Later Viennese) B flat major K. 570
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
new reflexes
high risk
to confirm
An ambitious leap into Intermediate (around grade 5 ABRSM/RCM) — only worth starting if the practice time is really there. New compared with the previous piece: Legato d'archet and Style classique — practise it slowly, separating left hand from bow: bow alone on open strings, then the fingering silently.
Challenge
Variations for Violin and Piano g minor K. 360 (374b)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

high risk
to confirm
An ambitious leap while staying in Elementary (around grade 5 ABRSM/RCM) — only worth starting if the practice time is really there.

Violin Sonata K 7
Mozart
new reflexes
low risk
to confirm
Equivalent demands, still Elementary (around grade 3 ABRSM/RCM): what changes is the ground. What changes is the skill in play: Vibrato and Legato d'archet — what matters is a steady sustained tone: bow speed, contact point and pressure even, before any thought of speed.
Same level
Violin Sonata K 6
Mozart
new reflexes
low risk
to confirm
Equivalent demands, still Elementary (around grade 3 ABRSM/RCM): what changes is the ground. What changes is the skill in play: Style classique and Intonation — the notes are not enough: articulation and ornaments follow performance conventions best checked in an urtext edition.
