Petit Caprice by Ferdinando Carulli - Grade 2 Repertoire for Classical Guitar

Time to get a bit of speed developed in those fingers. In a way this piece is technically simple, at least compared to the last three pieces, but we are going to start adding more ingredients to the music: scale passages, articulation, speed, and dynamics.

The G major scale gets a real work out here and I recommend playing a crescendo through each one of the scale passages. Experiment with using crescendi (this is the plural of crescendo) decrescendi and a variety of dynamics.

To develop speed I recommend using a metronome. Start at a comfortable tempo, and increase the speed by small increments. See how fast you can get, then slow it back down again. Over time you will build up the speed, but there’s no rush to get there.
