I am hoping to be doing grade 1 violin in the spring term currently looking at doing:

Mozart Minuet

Carroll The Silver Stream

and

Christopher Norton Garden

Dont' know if that'll be my final pick but just wondered what others where doing for exams!!!!!

Sorry if theres been another thread on this!!!!!!!

I'm doing grade 8 viola, at some point in the not so distant future.

I'll probably be playing,

Telemann, Sonata in D (complete)
Schubert, Arpeggionne (sp? - first movement)

and I was going to do the Bartok Roumanian Folk Dances, although I am now flirting with the Vaughan Williams, Suite for Viola.

It's those scales that are putting me off!

I did the Vaughan Williams for my Grade 8 and am now learning the entire work (all 8 movements) - are you thinking of doing the Polka or the Galop?

Fab piece! Have fun. One day, if I ever have time, I might try to learn it too...

For my g3 violin, I might play
A2 Watkins ale
B1 Romance
C2 Down by the Riverside

I'm not sure at the moment, I like both. I think I'll probably learn both, and then go from there.

For my G5 violin I'm studying Beethoven's Minuet in G No 2, Kreisler's Aucassin und Nicolette and Rezso Sugar's Air and Pizzicato. I,m hoping to take the exam in 2007.

I'm doing the Brahms Sonata in F-minor first movement for Grade 8 viola. And probably the Galop from the Vaughan Williams Suite, but don't know what else yet. Scales are well annoying

Hey I love Aucassin and Nicolette and the Air and Pizzicato too, unfortunately my teacher hates the latter! But I insisted, so he had to relent!

I did Giga, Album Leaf and the Air and Pizzicato for my G5 three weeks ago.

Hi violin-ann, I'd like to ask did you do any vibrato for the Aucassin und Nicolette and the Air and Pizzicato? I vibrato on the last G (3 beats) before it changes to Bb in former and the vey last B in Air & Pizz.

In the Aucassin did you change to the 3rd pos when you got to the Bb part? As I can only vibrato with my first finger I have to shift to the 3rd pos to vibrato the last G so I'm already there, Although I do get a better sound in the 1st pos.

Your first piece Giga is what I started to play, it trips along nicely but I just don't have the finger dexterity for those trills. I still play it from time to time.
