61/100 +3 pts 6-12 weeks
close skills low risk to confirm

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
61/100 +3 pts 6-12 weeks
new reflexes low risk to confirm
A short step up, staying in Intermediate (around grade 7 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Ornements romantiques and Indépendance des mains — ornaments must be secure before the piece goes up to tempo, otherwise they break the line instead of decorating it.
Balanced step

A genuine step up, without a jolt.

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
75/100 +17 pts 28-56 weeks
new reflexes high risk to confirm
