Gentle step

The safest next step.

Écossaise in E-flat major WoO.86

Ludwig van Beethoven

29/100 +5 pts 2-4 weeks

close skills low risk to confirm

A short step up — but it is the one that moves you into Elementary (around grade 3 ABRSM/RCM). The demand here is musical rather than mechanical: Legato — practise it slowly and hands separately before any attempt at tempo: that is where tension builds up.

Gentle

Gigue in G major BWV Anh.131

Johann Sebastian Bach

28/100 +4 pts 2-4 weeks

close skills low risk to confirm

A short step up — but it is the one that moves you into Elementary (around grade 3 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Style baroque and Ornements baroque — the notes are not enough: articulation and ornaments follow performance conventions best checked in an urtext edition.
