Grade 5 and 4 on the easy side

Posted by Cinco on 5/6/2022, 4:07 pm

I'm expecting that UIL will put the requirements back to normal next year, but we're not going to be back to full strength. What are some PML 5s and 4s on the easier side?

You have to play all 3 movements he listed for it to be a grade 5. Sea Songs is the only one you can play on its own...and that's what makes it G4

Sea Songs or Rhosymedre alone are 4s. The entire suite including Flourish is a 5.
