Minuet in G major WoO.10 No.2
Ludwig van Beethoven

A short step up, staying in Beginner (around grade 3 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.

Ludwig van Beethoven
36/100 +16 pts 12-24 weeks
new reflexes high risk to confirm
