Strand: Aural Skills
Suggestions for use: The score-reading gives the listener the opportunity of both seeing how the pianist translates the written notes and instructions into music. Music theory includes triplets linking left and right hands, intervals, rubato playing, legato playing and instructions such as ritardando, a metronome marking, a pause and repeat marks. This score helps the listener to work out the structure of the piece. All of these points prepare 5th and 6th years for the Aural Skills question on the Listening paper, where 19th century works often feature.
