ABRSM Grade 3 2015-2016 pieces sharing

2015-2016

There are 3 pieces in ABRSM Grade 3.

I would like to share one of the pieces in Group A.

It is Clementi Allegro: 1st movement from Sonatina in C, Op.36 No.1

For a candidate who attempt grade 3, it is quite difficult to choose this pieces.

The tempo is quite fast for them.

http://www.free-scores.com/PDF_EN/clementi-muzio-sonatina-1-299.pdf

It is the full movement of the pieces. The candidates are only play 1st movement.

ENJOY!!

In fact, it is quite amazing to play it. :)
