Gentle step

The safest next step.

Gentle
La notte, for violin and piano, S.377a
Franz Liszt
60/100 +5 pts 6-12 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: Ornements romantiques and Vibrato — ornaments must be secure before the piece goes up to tempo, otherwise they break the line instead of decorating it.
Gentle
Agada, Op.46
Joseph Achron
60/100 +5 pts 6-12 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: Legato d'archet and Ornements romantiques — practise it slowly, separating left hand from bow: bow alone on open strings, then the fingering silently.
Gentle
Recitativo e arioso, for violin and piano
Witold Lutoslawski
59/100 +4 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: Vibrato — what matters is a steady sustained tone: bow speed, contact point and pressure even, before any thought of speed.
Gentle

Franz Liszt
59/100 +4 pts 5-10 weeks
