Same I'm learning this for my grade 8 Trinity as well, and it sounds lovely.

[@IshanPandit]

This is beautiful! I'm learning this piece for my Grade 8, along with Rondo and my own composition. This will really help in improving my interpretation! Thank you so much :)

[@justmobilegaming6381]

If ur playing the rondo I suggest you even learn the allegro that preludes it. It’s real fun ☺️

Which 3 pieces would be the easiest for the exam?

[@peterlennon5900]

@@xavier9062 a new adventure looks easy enough once you get the chords(that shouldn't take long)
This one slips off the fingers easily so this as well
If u have good rhythm then armandos rhumba
The andaluza isn't too hard either

[@RajaSir21]

Thank you Jill. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance

[@Chloe_0228]

This piece is so lovely. I’m doing this piece with Rondo and Romance for my Grade 8 exam in July next year😊

[@clare-annnolan101]

Is there a site in particular where I could review this piece, before I purchase? Where did you find yours? For an exam too :) Thanks

[@meera4367]

[@myhumbleopinion1036]

This reminds me of the Poirot tv series with David Suchet.

Superb

[@jillmortonpianist]

Thank you!

[@sohamprasad6696]

How many takes does it typically take you to get a recording you are satisfied with?

[@jillmortonpianist]

Good question! It really depends on the piece. Sometimes only 2, sometimes a few more. Sometimes, I'll record one day, listen back the next and then decide I need to do it again as I don't like my interpretation!

[@iobyreb-1412]

hi jill! what is your favourite piece from the grade 8 syllabus this year?

[@absolving]

I'm not learning this piece I just love listening to it

[@jillmortonpianist]

It's a great piece!

[@lakshmisharma8193]

Hello Ma'am! Can we have a tutorial for this piece?

[@aspiringminds6792]

Beautiful playing in these. I’m also curious what kind of piano you are playing?

[@jillmortonpianist]

Thank you! I am very lucky to own a beautiful 100 year old Steinway!

[@Ronno4691]

Uh, can you buy the sheet music for this anywhere???

[@amyyoung3791]

[@sashadefreitas2546]

Hi Jill, question, in bar 10, does the second note of the right hand or left hand play first... The syncopation is confusing!

[@jillmortonpianist]

Theoretically it should be the RH to play first. Yes it can be tricky, but it’s worth persevering as it’s a great piece!

[@madbugger69]

Hi Jill!! Need some help please....my left hand cannot stretch fully to play the last two chords in bar 9.....how do I approach this for the exam?

[@justmobilegaming6381]

You’re allowed to arpeggiate them

[@TanyaZener]

@@justmobilegaming6381 Yeah, you could just arpeggiate them by quickly clicking the highest note of that chord, while simultaneously holding the pedal.

[@jillmortonpianist]

Yes, just arpeggiate them from the bottom note making sure you play the RH chord with the top note of the LH. Good luck!

[@honeystarrrr8108]

I really want to play this piece but my hand is so smalllll 😭😭😭
