Its whatever you want to play really - there wasn't a designated tempo. I guess tradition indicates faster, but that would've meant making it sound even worse - I was LEARNING not performing.
Are you intending to sit for Grade 5 exam? If so, you need to work on several things:
* Intonation - try check your intonation with open strings.
* Vibrato - other than the very last note, you didn't use vibrato. Grade 5 exam expects some vibrato developed by now. Especially this piece, it's begging for it!
* Phrasing - Try to shape the phrases rather than playing one note after another.
I did this piece for Grade 5 exam several years ago. All the best and keep it up!
It is hard to develop your technique on pieces beyond your level. I suggest get some books specifically for technique developments. It is better to play a Grade 3 piece competently than to struggle with a Grade 5 piece. Are you a self learner or do you go for lessons?
I learnt Violin from my Dad when I was a teenager. I did not know what grade I was then, and I do not know what grade I am now, for I am practicing myself.
Please, look for my name and give me your comments.
You're right, the notes don't look so hard on the page! I really enjoyed your performance. You have good intonation and your bowing has improved so much. That's a really nice violin and you're able to get a beautiful tone out of it :)
Thanks, bit of a slip up there in places, especially the grab for the high D, anyway, the best I can do at present. Its grade 5 in the book, but to play it well, I think could be Grade 50 :(
I just started this piece but i dont think im very good at it cuz im still just nine

@oMuiMui, that is actualy the tempo it should be played at, it is adagio, the eighth note gets 60 bpm.

it's pretty good just slow down a little and smoother bowing other wise it's pretty much fine oh and careful of hitting the right notes

I haven't planned on 5Gr exam, but I want this up to exam quality!
Still developing vibrato, such a slow process.
Intonation is weakest, the Arioso really shows up errors that can slip through other pieces.
It was another month after this to start to feel the phrases, I think that part is now better.
This is one of those pieces that I will return to, still finding bits that need improvement.
I just don't have enough technique to do better yet.
