TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
ABRSM’s recommended tempo for this piece is 84 bpm, as played in the video. A steady pace is required throughout, and nice balance is needed between legato playing and having a little bounce in the quavers, although this is subjective, and some may prefer to play all of it legato. Dynamics are straightforward, but they tend to change suddenly, so just be aware of when they occur.

The treble clef appears in the left-hand part of bar 17, returning to bass clef at bar 21, then returning to treble clef at bar 24, then finally back to bass clef at bar 26 until the end of the piece, so be careful to look out for those clef changes. Although there is no rit. marked at the end, a poco rit. in the penultimate bar (59) would seem natural to play.

the scales are getting easier ( i remembered b major 2 hands together is in grade 3 )
