Want a DISTINCTION in YOUR next ABRSM Exam? https://www.music-online.org.uk/2019/01/how-to-get-distinction-in-abrsm-exams.html The Piper O' Dundee - Trad.  Scottish - ABRSM 2017-18 Grade 2 Piano C1

TEACHING NOTES
On inspection of the whole piece it can be seen how often the notes are slurred in pairs. This is particularly noticeable in the last 8 bars, where both hands should have a little lift, twice a bar (0:30)

The articulation is a little trickier in the softer middle section, where the LH has a more continuous legato against the separated RH notes (0:16)

At the end of this phrase (bars 13 and 14) there is a big crescendo from p - f in a short space of time, although a decent ritardando will help to get the best out of this (0:22)

There should be NO rit at the end.
