Need grade 5-6 piece

on: May 01, 2006, 01:00:37 PM

Something with fairly large arpeggios in the LH and/or right hand. Grade 7 is also ok.

Mendelssohn: Rondo Capriccioso op. 14

I would have thought that was even somewhat harder than a grade 7.

Um, sure. I know grade 5-6 means different things to different people. How about if I say late intermediate to early advanced?

Schubert impromptu in A flat major, I don't know which number, but the first part is mostly chords, but it has a very beautiful middle section with what I think I can safely call arpeggios. It's grd 9 RCM, so I'm guessing that's around 6-7 ABRSM.

Something perhaps with a larger span.

Chopin etude op 10 #1

, or maybe the Eb major with arpeggios in both hands, once again

Check out the schubert I suggested further up, It's in A flat, and the first page is chords, middle is arpeggios.

25 12 chopin etude is kind of arpgeggios, or at least in the span-stretch kind of way... mmm... difficult though to get it flowing like it should.. i can't play any of it so i cant really comment but it seems like it should be ok... not 5-6 though

Nanabush - That impromptu is the kind of thing I'm looking for. Any other pieces? Something with arpeggios in the LH? I'm not looking for Chopin etudes. Late intermediate - early advanced.

Czerny school of velocity #12 and #32, check those out. Not long, don't look too difficult (#12 was a grd 10 rcm study, but is one of the easier ones, so around lvl 6-7)
