Abrsm 2023 & 2024 Grade 4 Piano Exam Category A 2 Song Name / Song Piece Mouvement De Valse Composer Louise Farrenc Recommended tempo for this piece is 160 bpm. A mixture of Legato (smooth) and Staccato (detached) notes are required in the right hand melodic phrases, along with a good steady legato left hand part throughout. In this type of music - melody with accompaniment - the left hand part must not be too intrusive and overpower the right hand melody which is quite delicate. In particular, make sure that the third beat of each left hand bar isn’t too heavy - in fact, the last chord in each left hand bar should ideally be a little lighter than beat 1 & 2, this way you will be able to achieve a nice graceful sounding accompaniment.
