Quite a good rendition. I took up piano at the age of 9, and progressed up to grade 6 with an 'A' grading, but combined that with learning violin, and more extensively trombone. In Australia, there is an AMEB (Australian Music Examinations Board), which awarded a grade certificate, and I remember when assessments changed from numbers to an overall result as a letter. The names (when numbers were used) were Fail, Pass, Credit, Distinction, and later (early 1970's) they had letters; D, C, B, A.
Well done! I am so tired of hearing this piece played as a flashy showpiece at 100mph. It's a gigue, meant to be danced, and not raced through; pure clavichord music. Check out Colin Tilney's performance on Hyperion; he plays it the same tempo as you.
You are just...amazing! I've just finished my grade 6, and started grade 7 yesterday, trying out this piece. I absolutely love it but too be honest, I don't think I'm anywhere as near as good as you! : )
Maybe in Australia they do it differently. Here in the UK the grading I take is with the ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music). There are 4 possible results for the grading; Fail, Pass, Merit and Distinction. I have grade 7 with distinction. Now I am working on my grade 8 pieces. They are quite hard but really nice. The aural is very hard.
@alansdad I thought u have Trinity Guildhall exams too...I am taking diploma exams under that cert...I am using an ABRSM book for my Trinity...lol...coz I just so happened to use that publication for Bach...
Great job! Keep up your good work!
