Oh Gawd...Burgmuller. This was a piece that has been set for G4 in the past. Burg's MM speeds are rather over the top...see Easier Piano pieces- Publisher:Associated Board.

But hey! Where would us teachers be without him?

Fancy thinking it is about a snake.The title gives it away.It's about dancing/sweating out a spider's bite. If I was bitten by a spider,I wouldn't be playing a piece of music...

I-Looney...read the Rules and regs...no repeats,...and that includes 4 bars..only Da Capos...I reckon your friend is really You! Good Luck sitting your G5.

Lovely piece La Tarentelle.

Friend of mine is doing this REALLY quickly, with repeats, and barely reaches a minute! Very fast! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

But as mentioned, I agree with no repeats in the exam...unless they are REALLY short repeats? Like only 4 bar repeats would be needed in ANY piece? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

There is no way anyone could play that with repeats in under a minute! That would mean playing it twice. Do you think we're that gullible?

Semele, believe it or not that's a common misconception about the spider bite, it says on the notes in the ABRSM Grade 5 book that,

"'La Tarentelle' is a tarentella, a folk dance from southern Italy whose name is derived from the town of Taranto (not from the tarantula as was formerly believed)." (I thought it was about a spider as well)

It also mentions the composer's metronome marks often seem to be rather excessive...stating the obvious... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Yep...it's a dance that takes its name from the sourthern Italian seaport of Taranto....the bite is harmless,but did you know once gripped in it's jaws,it never lets go.

Absolutely no repeats whatsoever?

Well if someone practises with repeats doesn't mean one will do it in the exam does it?

Absolutely NO REPEATS!! What part of 'no repeats' do you not understand?


No! So what about a recording of your extra fast friend for the Forum users website? If he/she's that good I'm sure he/she won't mind.

Probably a month to learn each note for his friend...cough him!

Now now, you two.

Etude_in_Gold was a misguided individual whose unfortunate resemblance to 50 other equally genuine but confused people contributing to these forums, was entirely accidental.

He has gone elsewhere; any resemblance between his identity and that of anybody else here is entirely coincidental. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

It's like a disclaimer at the beginning of books. It could probably go in the signature of whatever GCBS's latest incarnation is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
