Gentle step

The safest next step.

Gentle
Keyboard Sonata in A flat major, Hob.XVI:43
Franz Joseph Haydn
45/100 +4 pts 4-8 weeks
partial transfer low risk to confirm
A short step up — but it is the one that moves you into Intermediate (around grade 5 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.
Gentle
Piano Sonata G major K. 283 (189h)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
44/100 +3 pts 4-8 weeks
partial transfer low risk to confirm
A short step up, staying in Elementary (around grade 5 ABRSM/RCM). The skill that will carry the work: Connaissance des formes and Indépendance des mains — understand the form and the harmony before memorising, or memory collapses the moment you play for someone.

Sonata in C minor, H. 209, Wq.60
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
44/100 +3 pts 4-8 weeks

A short step up, staying in Elementary (around grade 5 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Polyphonie à deux voix and Connaissance des formes — practise it slowly and hands separately before any attempt at tempo: that is where tension builds up.
Gentle

partial transfer low risk to confirm
