Well I was really pleased that one of the options in the composition q was for violin so at least I could do the performance directions etc. However despite ending on the right note, I'm sure the middle section (bars 5 and 6) were very wierd. Of course I can't now remember any of what I wrote, but is probably a good job as I can't play it now I'm back home and hear how awful it was.
I think the AB probably use these little compositions for sight reading in practical exams....they're about as musical!!!
The rest was Ok. As long as I didn't misunderstand anything or get careless then this should be alright.
OK...Grade 6 here we go. Where do I start???
