Suite in F for Violin and Piano, op. 93, "Im alten Stil"

Max Reger

68/100 +5 pts 6-12 weeks

partial transfer low risk to confirm

A short step up — but it is the one that moves you into Advanced (around grade 7 ABRSM/RCM). The skill that will carry the work: Connaissance des formes and Style baroque — understand the form and the harmony before memorising, or memory collapses the moment you play for someone.

Violin Sonata in G minor, B.g10, "Didone abbandonata"

Giuseppe Tartini

67/100 +4 pts 6-12 weeks

partial transfer low risk to confirm

A short step up — but it is the one that moves you into Advanced (around grade 7 ABRSM/RCM). New compared with the previous piece: Vibrato and Analyse harmonique — what matters is a steady sustained tone: bow speed, contact point and pressure even, before any thought of speed.

close skills low risk to confirm
