ABRSM 2023 & 2024 - Grade 5 Piano exam - A:1 Allegro ~ Domenico Cimarosa

ABRSM 2023 & 2024 - Grade 5 Piano exam - A:1 Allegro ~ Domenico Cimarosa
The Italian composer Domenico Cimarosa wrote more than 60 operas - mostly comic ones - for which he became famous throughout Europe. However, he was also a fine keyboard player, so it is not surprising that he composed more than 80 keyboard sonatas.

[@masterkeyz959]

TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS ABRSM’s recommended tempo for this piece is 104 bpm and good steady tempo is needed throughout. This is a “moto perpetual” piece - that is, it keeps the same quick figuration throughout which gives it a relentless quality. Be careful to ensure that the accompanying left hand three-note quaver patterns do not over-power the melody of the right hand part. Articulation is up to the player, as there is none in the music, although it seems fairly obvious to play the three-note quaver groups in a reasonably legato manner. Dynamics are straightforward.

it’s hard to read the notes when you press it down and the light comes out but idk what is the note bc when you play two notes together it’s like 4 keys lighting up so you could put the letter name on top of the piano so i know which note it is but still i like how you play

Does anyone have any tips for playing the trills on bars 41 and 52-53 as I really struggle with those :)thanks

[@zz3pter]

same lol

[@gabriellaagnello5582]

Heyyy so I've been learning this piece, and for the trills I'd usually practice them on their own, slowly and when I got the hang of it I'd increase the speed until it sounded like trills if that makes sense? 😭

[@gabriellaagnello5582]

Ooo also when you're practicing, try and go slower to get everything in (everyone has a different pace, I usually to like half the recommended speed and then work my way up). And then with confidence you'll start playing it faster naturally :))

[@k0rd1122]

@@gabriellaagnello5582 thank you:) I did my exam and played it wayyy slower than its meant to be lol but I got a merit! I managed the trills ok at a slower speed:)

Man I have a question for u Sorry for disturbing you So wat advice do u have for me Coz I'm preparing for my grade 5 ABRSM but I'm nervous Coz they are going to be my first exams

[@masterkeyz959]

Just make sure you know your pieces really well… nerves usually come from a fear of something going wrong. Try to play your pieces from memory - this is a good test of how well you “truly” know your pieces. Can you remember how loud or soft each section is without needing to check the book? If you find playing from memory difficult maybe start off by practising the right hand part only and see how far you can get before you need to check the book. Also make sure you know your exercises really well because this will set you up in a good frame of mind for the rest of the exam. If you are still making mistakes in places then play slower and try to get accurate. Try to keep in mind the importance of dynamics on the day - you don’t want to just play mechanically - it’s easy to slip into “survival mode” when under performance pressure like concerts or exams - just trying to get through the piece without mistakes, but keep in mind the importance of a good interesting musical performance. Little things like this can make a big difference. It’s ok to have nerves on the day - this is perfectly natural - especially if you are not used to these situations.. remember the examiners are music lovers too, so keep that in mind and try to enjoy it! Good luck!

The trills are too fast they must follow the beats, you can only play it as fast as you can when it’s trill~

To be fair, he’s playing in a fast tempo in the first place, also the piece is called allegro so :/
