Standard – INTERMEDIATE
Keys, note ranges and technical challenges suited to players of ABRSM Grade 4 – 5 and above. Requires confidence in sustaining an independent part, both in terms of notes and rhythms.
Generally, the challenge lies in fitting the parts together effectively to achieve a satisfying ensemble performance, rather than in the technical difficulty of individual parts.
