This piece has a playful quality. Look carefully at which notes are staccato and which are legato, as it's this that gives the music its character.

I had fun with this commission, thanks to a kind donation from Amanda Foley. The playing should be light, crisp and chilled - just like a fine Rosé!

Prep Test Level
The swing rhythm makes this piece sound harder than it is. It's probably somewhere between Prep Test level and Grade 1 (ABRSM).

Chaconnes became very popular in the French Baroque period. Usually in triple time, they involve a short harmonic sequence which is repeated many times with variations in the melody.

Grade 1
The Toy Shop in my imagination is a sinister place at night. Shadows move, music boxes start to play, and then suddenly there's silence. I think this piece is on the tricky side of Grade 1, but I think Grade 1 players will want to try it.
