im trying to play it for my grade 8 too lol. i think that its more about control than actually getting correct notes if you're playing this for grade 8 lcm since its not too technically difficult given enough practice on some of the harder bars, which is probs why abrsm are doing it for grade 6; they're probably looking for the technical aspects to be correct rather than control. i think its like the sonatina in e flat for grade 7 lcm; not technically challenging but you need to control it :)

Great performance, beautiful piece. The only thing I noticed as a fault is at the recapitulation, the last section 8 bars from the end, that the grace note before the G on the down beat is written as an A, but an F# was played instead. This occurs just after 4:50 in the recording. Superb execution otherwise :)

Oh I'm playin it for my grade 8 too

It's sucha beautiful piece of music :]

sadly section c lcm for grade 8 isnt so good..

@MissEmlehAppleh

It IS a wonderful piece of music, but even much more if played more slowly and softly.

At least, that's my own opinion.

Geert Dehoux, pianist.

Please say who the pianist is on these pieces.

[CheeHao93]

Its Franz Schubert

[pianiplunker]

Franz Schubert is playing the piano on this recording? Was he resurrected from the dead?

[pianiplunker]

BTW, thanks for posting this little known piece, i've never heard it before.

[CheeHao93]

I play this piece on my grand 8 piano exam.

[Davidtatts]

grade 8? eek im doing it at grade 6 (well, TRYING TO DO IT) *is scared now* no wonder she says i always pick the hard pieces

anyway enough of my rambles, hope it goes well :D

[thetuilleriegarden]

grade 6 for which exam board?

its grade 8 LCM but its about how well you play it at grade 8 as requires a lot of control

[CRAZY4MUSIC11]

well it was in a grade 6 Associated Board but i wasn't actually doing the exam

yeah i noticed the control bit :D

[thetuilleriegarden]

i`m shocked at grade 6!! i did grade 6 aged 13 and could never have played it properly!!
