Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
54/100 +5 pts 5-10 weeks
close skills low risk to confirm
A short step up, staying in Intermediate (around grade 6 ABRSM/RCM). 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.
Gentle

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
55/100 +6 pts 5-10 weeks
close skills low risk to confirm
A short step up, staying in Intermediate (around grade 6 ABRSM/RCM). The skill that will carry the work: Connaissance des formes and Style classique — understand the form and the harmony before memorising, or memory collapses the moment you play for someone.

Piano Sonata C major Hob. XVI:35
Franz Joseph Haydn
52/100 +3 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: Balance mains and Connaissance des formes — what matters is quality of attack and evenness of tone, not speed.
Balanced step

A genuine step up, without a jolt.

Piano Sonata G major Hob. XVI:40
Franz Joseph Haydn
58/100 +9 pts 10-20 weeks
close skills moderate risk to confirm
A real step up, staying in Intermediate (around grade 6 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Rythmes pointés and Doubles notes — the pitfall is the pulse drifting as soon as the writing thickens: subdivide with the metronome.
Balanced

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
57/100 +8 pts 10-20 weeks
close skills moderate risk to confirm

Ambitious challenge

A useful leap with guided practice.

Challenge
Fugue in D minor
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
64/100 +15 pts 24-48 weeks
partial transfer moderate 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: Polyphonie à trois voix ou plus and Analyse harmonique — practise it slowly and hands separately before any attempt at tempo: that is where tension builds up.
Challenge
Piano Sonata no. 18 in D major, K.576
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
69/100 +21 pts 24-48 weeks
close skills high risk to confirm
An ambitious leap into Advanced (around grade 7 ABRSM/RCM) — only worth starting if the practice time is really there. The skill that will carry the work: Connaissance des formes and Style classique — understand the form and the harmony before memorising, or memory collapses the moment you play for someone.
Challenge
March C major K. 408/1 (383e)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
36/100 -13 pts 12-24 weeks
close skills moderate risk to confirm
Next piece in the same collection, Elementary (around grade 4 ABRSM/RCM): the order its editor chose, a progression already tested. The skill that will carry the work: Indépendance des mains — practise it slowly and hands separately before any attempt at tempo: that is where tension builds up.
Same level

To widen the repertoire without raising the level.

Same level
8 Variations on a Dutch Song K. Anh. 208 (24)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
49/100 same level 3-4 weeks
partial transfer low risk to confirm
Equivalent demands, still Intermediate (around grade 5 ABRSM/RCM): what changes is the ground. The demand here is musical rather than mechanical: Phrasé — the notes will be secure long before the musical line: work in whole phrases, singing the main voice.
Same level
Andante in F major, K.616
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
50/100 +1 pts 3-4 weeks
close skills low risk to confirm
Next piece in the same collection, Intermediate (around grade 6 ABRSM/RCM): the order its editor chose, a progression already tested. 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.
