A Guide to the Trinity College Piano Syllabus (2021 - 2023)


Haydn - Finale, Presto (3rd mvt from Sonata in D, Hob.XVI:24)

This light-hearted presto is full of witty turns of phrase, not least the string of interrupted cadences towards the end – musical banana skins sure to trip up the listener. In order for the pianist not to trip up, make sure you can sustain the tempo you choose for the beginning throughout (things get busier in the second half). A variety of different touches, and dabs of pedal here and there will add colour and interest.
