ABRSM Grade 1 - Piano Exam Pieces


Schumann - Melodie (No. 1 from Album für die Jugend, Op. 68)

ABRSM Grade 1 – B1

Robert Schumann’s Album for the Young is a treasure trove of 42 pieces written for young people. Melodie features a melody in the right hand with a gently flowing quaver accompaniment in the left. This piece requires sensitivity to touch and tone, and the ability to phrase and project a singing line.
