Abrsm 2023 & 2024<br />Grade 4 Piano Exam<br />Category A 2<br />Song Name / Song Piece Mouvement De Valse<br />Composer Louise Farrenc<br />Recommended tempo for this piece is 160 bpm. A mixture of Legato (smooth) and Staccato (detached) notes are required in the right hand melodic phrases, along with a good steady legato left hand part throughout. In this type of music - melody with accompaniment - the left hand part must not be too intrusive and overpower the right hand melody which is quite delicate. <br />In particular, make sure that the third beat of each left hand bar isn’t too heavy - in fact, the last chord in each left hand bar should ideally be a little lighter than beat 1 & 2, this way you will be able to achieve a nice graceful sounding accompaniment.
