Ecossaise in E-Flat (No. 4 from Six Ecossaises, WoO 83)
ABRSM Grade 3 – A1

Flexibility in the right hand is necessary to avoid tension, and flexibility in the pulse (while not indicated in the score) is essential to bring grace and elegance at the start, and then some forward movement in the forte ending.
