Musette in D major from Clavierbuchlein fur Anna Magdalena Bach BWV Anh 126

Those leaps are so difficult for a grade 2. AMEB 2 is more advanced than Abrsm 2, I think Abrsm really made a mistake here and should have ratey this grade 3.

Tchaikovsky P.

The Sick Doll Op 39 No 7 in G minor

I think it's grade 2: very slow, few notes, no rhythmic challenge, repetitive. Could be even grade 1 if it wasn't in g minor and the few accidentals in there.
