Thomas . and Mr. John' Hart well) were pleased to note- that a. largo 'i number',: of, the ' candidates played from memory, especially in the junior grades, out in a great i number of cases the ; pieces^were not, learnt > accurately enough-to warranty high marking, the pieces not. being note-perfect in several instances. There xvcre comparatively few ;aUures, and many less than in former years, but the lowlie"-! of the marking went to prove, that'fewr reached J high standard. The examiners thought! hat a good many of the younger candidates who obtained only a second-class certificate would do well to go up again In th«. same grades to qualify for hicher classes before passing:, on:to; higher . snides Mendelssohn's "Andante .» Sostenuto,"' > - which was chosen by a great number of the eandu .;. riitcs'in the junior grade, was- almost invariably • i iaved too'slowly.' The metronome time is given. -is crotchet 108, and nino out of rlO ; candidates ; 'uhved it ot less than, half the pace. Dj;: I the''■; honours sections a great deal of credit was re-i; fleeted on the teachers by 1 the uniform ' excellenc*; nt tho candidates. The preludes^ and fugues of ' Bach were, Invariably;; well played, and a >.higher,: standard in these- works,'was, obtained;; than was ! generally the case." The • questions '■'■ which were, always . given on" pieces,, played .■were, with veryfew exceptions,]; intelligently . answered, especially in tho;primary, and; Junior grades.
