Ave verum corpus
Mozart
30/100 +5 pts 3-6 weeks
close skills low risk to confirm
A short step up, staying in Elementary (around grade 3 ABRSM/RCM). The skill that will carry the work: Style classique — the notes are not enough: articulation and ornaments follow performance conventions best checked in an urtext edition.
Gentle
Little Prelude in E minor BWV 941
Johann Sebastian Bach
30/100 +4 pts 2-4 weeks
close skills low risk to confirm
A short step up, staying in 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

Johann Sebastian Bach

Ludwig van Beethoven
29/100 +4 pts 2-4 weeks
close skills low risk to confirm

Felix Mendelssohn
35/100 +10 pts 6-12 weeks

A real step up, staying in Elementary (around grade 4 ABRSM/RCM). The demand here is musical rather than mechanical: Phrasé — the notes will be secure long before the musical line: work in whole phrases, singing the main voice.

Allegro in C major for Piano
Mozart
38/100 +13 pts 6-12 weeks
close skills moderate risk to confirm
A real step up, staying in Elementary (around grade 4 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Passages rapides and Style classique — practise it slowly and hands separately before any attempt at tempo: that is where tension builds up.
Ambitious challenge

A useful leap with guided practice.

Challenge
Song without Words E major op. 30,3
Felix Mendelssohn
41/100 +16 pts 16-32 weeks
close skills high 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. The demand here is musical rather than mechanical: Phrasé — the notes will be secure long before the musical line: work in whole phrases, singing the main voice.
Same level

To widen the repertoire without raising the level.

Same level
Sonatina in G major Op.36 No.2
Muzio Clementi
27/100 +2 pts 1-2 weeks
partial transfer low risk to confirm
Equivalent demands, still Elementary (around grade 3 ABRSM/RCM): what changes is the ground. What changes is the skill in play: Connaissance des formes and Indépendance des mains — understand the form and the harmony before memorising, or memory collapses the moment you play for someone.
Same level
Piece in F for Keyboard, K. 33b
Mozart
22/100 -3 pts 1-2 weeks
new reflexes low risk to confirm
Equivalent demands, right at the edge of Beginner (around grade 2 ABRSM/RCM): different ground, same level. What changes is the skill in play: Technique générale — practise it slowly and hands separately before any attempt at tempo: that is where tension builds up.
Progressions computed from difficulty, skill overlap and style between works. A What do we play next? recommendation should remain a pedagogical starting point, not an automatic prescription.
