Violin Sonata no. 2, "Poème mystique"

Ernest Bloch

77/100 +5 pts 7-14 weeks

close skills low risk to confirm

A short step up, staying in Advanced (around grade 8 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.

Violin Sonata no. 1 in C sharp minor, op. 21, BB84, Sz.75

Béla Bartók

83/100 +11 pts 16-32 weeks

partial transfer moderate risk to confirm

A real step up: this piece moves you into Great repertoire (diploma level, beyond grade 8). New compared with the previous piece: Legato d'archet and Connaissance des formes — practise it slowly, separating left hand from bow: bow alone on open strings, then the fingering silently.

Balanced

Arnold Schoenberg

85/100 +13 pts 16-32 weeks

close skills moderate risk to confirm

A real step up: this piece moves you into Great repertoire (diploma level, beyond grade 8). New compared with the previous piece: Positions hautes and Style moderne et contemporain — practise it slowly, separating left hand from bow: bow alone on open strings, then the fingering silently.

Violin Concerto

Ernest Bloch

85/100 +13 pts 16-32 weeks

close skills moderate risk to confirm

A real step up: this piece moves you into Great repertoire (diploma level, beyond grade 8). The skill that will carry the work: Style moderne et contemporain — the notes are not enough: articulation and ornaments follow performance conventions best checked in an urtext edition.

Balanced

Violin Concerto in D major, op. 35

Erich Wolfgang Korngold

85/100 +13 pts 16-32 weeks

partial transfer moderate risk to confirm

A real step up: this piece moves you into Great repertoire (diploma level, beyond grade 8). New compared with the previous piece: Ornements romantiques and Style moderne et contemporain — ornaments must be secure before the piece goes up to tempo, otherwise they break the line instead of decorating it.

Ambitious challenge

A useful leap with guided practice.
