Gentle step

The safest next step.

Gentle

Rondo for Violin and Orchestra in B flat major, K.269

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

50/100 +5 pts 5-10 weeks

close skills low risk to confirm

A short step up, staying in Intermediate (around grade 6 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Rythmes pointés and Style classique — the pitfall is the pulse drifting as soon as the writing thickens: subdivide with the metronome.

Gentle

Violin Sonata no. 27 in G major, K.379

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

50/100 +5 pts 5-10 weeks

partial transfer low risk to confirm

A short step up, staying in Intermediate (around grade 6 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Legato d'archet and Analyse harmonique — practise it slowly, separating left hand from bow: bow alone on open strings, then the fingering silently.

Gentle

Violin Sonata in B minor, Wq. 76, H. 512: III. Allegretto siciliano

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach

51/100 +6 pts 5-10 weeks

partial transfer low risk to confirm

A short step up, staying in Intermediate (around grade 6 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.

Ambitious challenge

A useful leap with guided practice.

Challenge

Concerto for Violin and Keyboard in F major, Hob.XVIII:6

Franz Joseph Haydn

64/100 +19 pts 24-48 weeks

close skills high risk to confirm

An ambitious leap while staying in Intermediate (around grade 7 ABRSM/RCM) — only worth starting if the practice time is really there. The skill that will carry the work: Style classique and Connaissance des formes — the notes are not enough: articulation and ornaments follow performance conventions best checked in an urtext edition.

Challenge

Violin Concerto no. 3 in G major, K.216

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

64/100 +19 pts 24-48 weeks

close skills high risk to confirm

An ambitious leap while staying in Intermediate (around grade 7 ABRSM/RCM) — only worth starting if the practice time is really there. New compared with the previous piece: Analyse harmonique and Style classique — understand the form and the harmony before memorising, or memory collapses the moment you play for someone.
