Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Challenge

Ludwig van Beethoven
73/100 +22 pts 28-56 weeks
partial transfer high risk to confirm

new reflexes low risk to confirm
Equivalent demands, still Intermediate (around grade 6 ABRSM/RCM): what changes is the ground. What changes is the skill in play: Ornements romantiques and Voix chantante — ornaments must be secure before the piece goes up to tempo, otherwise they break the line instead of decorating it.
