Airs populaires, Op.22
Georg Wichtl
55/100 +5 pts 5-10 weeks
close skills low risk to confirm
A short step up, staying in Intermediate (around grade 6 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Vibrato and Passages rapides — what matters is a steady sustained tone: bow speed, contact point and pressure even, before any thought of speed.

56/100 +6 pts 5-10 weeks
close skills low risk to confirm
A short step up, staying in Intermediate (around grade 6 ABRSM/RCM). The skill that will carry the work: Passages rapides — practise it slowly, separating left hand from bow: bow alone on open strings, then the fingering silently.

Violin Concerto
Philip Glass
60/100 +10 pts 12-24 weeks
close skills moderate risk to confirm
A real step up, staying in Intermediate (around grade 6 ABRSM/RCM). The skill that will carry the work: Rythme général — the pitfall is the pulse drifting as soon as the writing thickens: subdivide with the metronome.

Ambitious challenge

A useful leap with guided practice.

Challenge
Violin Sonata no. 10 in G major, op. 96
Ludwig van Beethoven

partial transfer high risk to confirm
An ambitious leap into Advanced (around grade 7 ABRSM/RCM) — only worth starting if the practice time is really there.

Edvard Grieg
67/100 +17 pts 24-48 weeks

Challenge
Transition from the Andante to the Rondo (Wolfgang Schneiderhan)
Eugene Ysaÿe
