I'm 14, and have been playing the piano for less than a year, and I have recently taught myself the first 18 bars of Debussy's Arabesque.

I was just wondering if anyone knew what grade piano this piece was.

Thanks in advance,

Love Laura

AWWW no one has replyied! How distressing...have you found it out yet? Cos I thought you told me it was Grade 8? Or didn't you know? Oh well! I have finally come onto this forum! WOOHOO! I didn't to ask about Michael Nyman!

Anyway, I don't know what Grade it is! HAHAHA...Love Lyd XxXOoO see you tommorow =)

Don't worry about the grades.They aren't so much important.I,in my second year of piano,taught myself the entire Rondo ala Turca.And it was fun,because I didn't care about the grades.
But to answer your question I think Arabesque is grade 7 or 8.
Im'glad that you manage to play Arabesque on your first year.Bravo!!!

don't worry about the grades.
play as you go.
the main thing is to keep yourself focussed on what you have at the moment

I find that when I don't know something about a peice, I can look ahead and fake it with what I think sounds best. SOmetimes it's better than the origional.
Making a song your own is awesome.

It`s grade 8 in ABRSM lol
