Piano Sonatina F major op. 8,1
Hermann Goetz
43/100 +5 pts 4-8 weeks
close skills low risk to confirm
A short step up, staying in Elementary (around grade 5 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.

Mozart
42/100 +4 pts 4-8 weeks
close skills low risk to confirm
A short step up, staying in Elementary (around grade 5 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Ornements romantiques and Style classique — ornaments must be secure before the piece goes up to tempo, otherwise they break the line instead of decorating it.

Piano Sonata No. 15
Mozart
45/100 +7 pts 4-8 weeks
close skills low risk to confirm
A short step up — but it is the one that moves you into Intermediate (around grade 5 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Balance mains and Style classique — what matters is quality of attack and evenness of tone, not speed.
Balanced step

A genuine step up, without a jolt.

A real step up: this piece moves you into Intermediate (around grade 5 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Trilles and Balance mains — practise it slowly and hands separately before any attempt at tempo: that is where tension builds up.

new reflexes moderate risk to confirm
An ambitious leap into Intermediate (around grade 6 ABRSM/RCM) — only worth starting if the practice time is really there.
