Waltz in B minor Op.69 No.2
Frédéric Chopin
33/100 +6 pts 3-6 weeks
new reflexes low risk to confirm
A short step up, staying in Elementary (around grade 4 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Indépendance des mains — practise it slowly and hands separately before any attempt at tempo: that is where tension builds up.
Gentle
Waltz in A minor Op.18a (posthumous)
Frédéric Chopin
31/100 +4 pts 3-6 weeks
new reflexes low risk to confirm
A short step up, staying in Elementary (around grade 3 ABRSM/RCM). The demand here is musical rather than mechanical: Tempo rubato — the pitfall is the pulse drifting as soon as the writing thickens: subdivide with the metronome.
Gentle
Waltz op. 9,3 D 365
Franz Schubert
34/100 +7 pts 3-6 weeks
close skills low risk to confirm
A short step up, staying in Elementary (around grade 4 ABRSM/RCM). The skill that will carry the work: Lecture à vue — keep it up with daily reading of easy pieces rather than grinding one passage.

Ludwig van Beethoven
42/100 +16 pts 16-32 weeks
new reflexes high risk to confirm

Ludwig van Beethoven
42/100 +16 pts 16-32 weeks

Challenge
Etüde C major K. 626b/48

partial transfer moderate 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. New compared with the previous piece: Demi-pédale — the pedal is set by ear, note by note: misjudged, it blurs the harmony instead of joining it.
