TEACHING NOTES
A light flowing touch is needed for this Scherzo by Gade. Make sure your hands and arms are relaxed for a fluid movement. 

Only a few pedal marks are seen here in this ABRSM edition, but more pedal could be added, indeed would be desired for a good performance in the exam. For example a small touch from the first quaver of each beat to the second in bar 3 and similar would add a little colour (0:10). Also in bars 10-15, the pedal should be changed every RH melody note. This will require some "fast" pedalling so don't press the pedal any further than absolutely necessary. (0:25)

Finally, note the "grazioso" marking. More than half the scherzo is at a piano dynamic, and even in the louder passages, the texture must remain transparent and delicate.
