  • is it the England/ [Europe maybe...?] system? cuz i think Ive heard that they have a different system. They have a total of 8 levels/grade instead of 10.... I dont know. xP haha but its good! xD well done!

  • Beautiful play and you are also beautiful.

  • i think this is too slow... just cause im playing this for my Gr.9 and its a gr.10 study, appearantly my playing is slow enough already. its supposed to be allegro leggiero

  • grade 6?

    holy crap, this is my grade 10 study.

  • grade 6 exam piece? im playing this as my grade 10 study =S meh.. beautiful playing =)

  • By the sounds of this it should be a grade 7 piece

  • wow, this is Grade 6?? I took grade 6 this year and my pieces weren't this hard at all! It was soothing and like what "itsyourcall" said. & Congratulations for obtaining a Distinction!!

  • but be careful your pedaling is not so good. use it much less.

  • WOW this was for your grade 6 EXAM PIECE? I'm playing Grade 10 right now and this is considered a STUDY...wow

  • Yes, I am doing this for my grade 10 as well. I was very surprised to find out that this is a grade 6 ABRSM repertoire piece (its out of 150 in their exam, this is 30 points, so its 1/5 of the mark, which is quite a lot, considering we only get 6 points for our exam )

  • What really worries me is the timing. 132?!!?

    ITS SO FAST WHEN I TRY TO PLAY EVEN 100!

    I don't know how to get up to that level and im only practising at 80... o.o''

    and my exam is april/may

  • wait. sorry. i meant 138.

    even faster!

  • ya think your pedaling is bad.hmmmm.... mine's terrible

  • Pretty good perfomance)

  • this music takes me away, over the hills, makes the grass grow, every empty spot it fills, and the river just keeps its flow, sun shine on a rainy day. :) great in other words!

  • I'm going for grade 6 in a few weeks, and your videos have really helped me. I'm not too far from where you are at in the video, but I'm still struggling with the right hand thirds in the second page. I noticed you slowed them right down at about the end, which worked great stylistically, so I'm going to try that for that part also, because I'm having difficulty with the last set where the left hand starts playing those F sharp and G sharp octaves. Thanks a lot, and well done on your exam score.

  • You always inspire me. I'm learning my grade 6 pieces at the moment and watching your vids really guides me. By the way, congratulations on your exam result, awesome score!

  • well i listened to this piece on imeem and the original tempo was really nice. but i personally think if it's played in a slower tempo, it will still sound nice.

  • Can anyone help me please?

    On my left hand I keep missing the c sharp (the first page). Is there anyway I can practise or any tips?

  • I really wanted to play this for the exam but I just couldn't get up to tempo... you don't seem to go as fast as the book marks (not that that's a bad thing... I think it sounds better slower personally)... did they not comment on that, then? I almost regret choosing the Suk, although that is also a lovely piece.

    well played although you are a bit loud and could do with a bit more dynamic range

  • you really played at this tempo for the real exam?? you're really good

  • i reckon the metronome marking is wrong in the ABRSM because i play this at actual prelude speed and it sounds 10x better and more like an actual prelude

  • I ♥ this piece so much, i suck from bar 25 to 39.

    so annoying!!!

    well done, your absolutley terrific, my grade 6 exam is in autumn :S

    :D

    lol

    Nickil

  • thats an amazing piece, and you played it wonderfully, i chose to play the F minor one over the page from that though : \

  • Wonderful!

  • hey can you please tell me what tempo you used?

  • I've never geard this piece before but you play briantly anyway. well done.

  • hell im 13 and this is like dam hard lol i keep pressing the wrong notes and forgetting sharps

  • Thanks For This!

    It has helped me so much with my piece!

    i'm 14 and i struggle to move my hands find the notes so quickly but you did it amazingly!

    inspiring =]

  • hi , wow im doing this for my grade 6 aswell - i was going to do the moment musical by schubert but i changed my mind... also i wondered how old are you - like a teenager or an adult?

  • Thats Great! I think it'll work... Must remember to buy some Herbal Essences next time I go shopping :)

  • That helps alot! I also have troubles getting my hand to stretch enough... any stretchy tips?

    PS. I love you hair - its so pretty! Which shampoo do you use?!

  • Good job... did you really get a distinction on your grade 10 piano?! If you did, I need your help. I'm playing this piece and I cannot get measures 40-47 which you play so beautifully. Please help!

  • Bravo!

  • Theres something about this puece that I love hehe im addicted to listening to it :P

    Another amazing piece from suzy!! :D

    xxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • LOL!

  • Abosolutley Fabulous. I'm doing my grade 6 and I chose Sonata in F, Preude in C sharp Minor and Rumba Toccata.

    This one is especially hard - but ur really good thancks for putting it on utube!

    Nickil

  • wow i think all the pieces are really good!

    congratulations on your distinction!

    i'm only starting the book now and to be honest i'm really worried :(... i want to do well in the exam but i have less than a year! :( any advice?

  • did you play any other instruments before you learnt piano??

  • No ones played my A piece!! It's A2 and Gigue by Handel.

    :( No fair

  • Grade 6 btw... not 5

  • Congratulations on the results. I'm not surprised really based on the videos though and you see that you didn't do as bad as thought. Distinction for grade 7 now perhaps?

  • I've discovered Heller with your video. :)

  • dont worry bout it =) you played this very well in this video. It cant get too bad. Definitely merit quality, even distinction.

  • nice job . .

  • Suzy sorry to hear that!! The nerves at the exam are just awesful. You play this piece so beautifully and I'm sure it wasn't as bad as you thought!!!

    Hugs, Maria

  • Hi Suzy,

    Hope your exam went super well!!!!!!!!!!

    Maria

  • Thx for ur comment and try hard for ur Grade 7 exam pieces.

  • so cool!! i've just started learning grade 6, i'm gonna choose this for my B piece!!

  • wow! You play it so well. I still practice for this song and i think it's quite hard. I even try for the B2 too. But i think i will choose B4, Refrain Du Gondolier.

  • a deft touch and an elegant interpretation. well done.

  • I think it's great overall :)

    What piano do you have?

    And I think the last chord has to be softer than the other two to fade away

  • GREAT!!! i like the way you play this piece. it's B1 isnt it? hehe

    but i don't choose this piece in my exam

  • good playing!

  • Where do you live/what music school do you go to?

    Its a gr10 study piece where I am (Having difficulty choosing because theres too many good pieces) =S

  • Oh, I should be at grade 6 theory, just that with my a-levels and all it was a bit short notice for me to do it in May.

  • ohh welll

  • Um sorry, I meant the two C# in the bass but it just sounded lower than the one I played.

  • Ok I was just asking , I'll take a look at the book again when I return home this afternoon. On the topic of cadences I'm doing the grade 5(theory) exam later this year so I am now getting familiar with them.

  • Hi again. I just want to ask one question the last chord you play at the end of the piece, is it F#,F#(In basss clef) and C#,E,G, C# (in the treble)? The reason I asked was due to the fact that I played the piece and my last chord sounds a bit different than yours. But I like the performance.

  • yea i know how you feel I used to be soo nervous before going in teh exam and what's worse is when your hands sweat ( A NIGHTMARE) lol but I finally ogt it right at grade 4 with the distinction ( I went distinction pass merit distinction lol. So all I'd suggest is you do like me and enjoy the pieces and feel them. Oh and powder your hands lol

  • I'd love to but I don't have a cam to record myself.

    Maybe someday.

  • WOW! Your pedalling is really nice. I'm supposed to do grade 5 but after hearing these pieces i'll definite take a look at my grade 6 book lol. Well good luck. I see a distinction for you.

  • im playing this song for my exam. wow. im still working on this piece. wonderful playing!

  • KCNg - Wonderful playing. Sure to get a Distinction in her exam.
