Grade 3 Piano Exam
Ctegory C 3
Song Name / Song Piece The Quiet Of The Night
Composer Shruthi Rajasekar
Recommended tempo for this piece is 80 bpm, as played in this video. The most important aspect to be aware of when playing this piece is the use of pedalling - if you play exactly as instructed the sound can become dissonant and very muffled and the effect can be quiet off-putting and might even sound “wrong”. At bar 17, rather than hold the left-hand minim chord on beat 2 for the remainder of the bar, I instead pedalled it, and adopted a similar approach in some of the following bars during that section - this isn’t really necessary, provided you hold down those chords for their full values.
Dynamics are straightforward, but try to develop a good gradually fading effect of the final section, from bar 27 to the end, and watch out for the rit. (slowing down) at bar 36 until the end.
