33/100 +5 pts 3-6 weeks
new reflexes low risk to confirm
A short step up, staying in Elementary (around grade 4 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Vibrato and Legato d'archet — what matters is a steady sustained tone: bow speed, contact point and pressure even, before any thought of speed.

Camargo Guarnieri
35/100 +7 pts 3-6 weeks
new reflexes low risk to confirm
A short step up, staying in Elementary (around grade 4 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Style moderne et contemporain — the notes are not enough: articulation and ornaments follow performance conventions best checked in an urtext edition.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
46/100 +18 pts 16-32 weeks

An ambitious leap into Intermediate (around grade 5 ABRSM/RCM) — only worth starting if the practice time is really there.

Same level

To widen the repertoire without raising the level.

Same level
Violin Sonata no. 2 in D major, K.7
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
28/100 same level 1-2 weeks
new reflexes 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: Vibrato and Legato d'archet — what matters is a steady sustained tone: bow speed, contact point and pressure even, before any thought of speed.
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.
