Grade 3 Piano Exam
Category A 2
Song title / Song Piece Allegro In F
Composer Wa Mozart
Recommended tempo for this piece is 144 bpm, as played in this video and a nice steady tempo is required throughout.
Careful execution of slurs is vital in order to recreate the elegant and graceful sound needed in this type of Viennese Classical style, so typical of the 18th century. The main consideration is remembering that any slurred notes can be played lighter at the end of each group - this creates a playful and delicate effect which is much needed in order for the piece to not sound mechanical.
Dynamics are relatively straightforward, but pay very careful attention to the contrasting staccato and legato notes, as it’s very easy to play something different to whats actually written! This piece is a melody with accompaniment, so be careful to ensure that the left-hand part does not overpower the delicate tune above. The closing bars don’t appear to have any rit. (slowing down) markings, although a slight easing of the tempo on bars 37 to 38 could work well, provided it is subtle.
