TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
ABRSM’s recommended tempo of 72bpm seems just right for this piece and this is the tempo of how it was played in the video.
The main challenges are observing the sudden contrasting dynamics - such as moderato forte / piano, along with the occasional paired slur, such as the right hand parts of bars 10 and 12. A slightly lighter touch on the last notes of each paired slur is preferable to create a graceful and calm feel.
Be careful to observe the easily missed “dim. al fine” at bar 24, gradually reducing volume to the end, and also watching out for the rit. at bar 26 (slowing down) along with the paused chord on the final bar.
