Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach (1732-95), the second youngest son of Iohann Sebastian Bach, entered the service of Count Wlhelm ofSchaumburg-Lippe in B0ckeburg in 1750. He was promoted to the post of Konzertmeister in 1759 and remained at the court for the rest of hislife. He was admired as a keyboard virtuoso as well as a composer. His miscellany Mttsikalische Nebenstunden, from which this scherzo is taken,contains not only keyboard pieces but also cantatas and songs. In the scherzo, most unslurred quavers might be lightly detached. The opening /and the one in b. 32 have been added by the editor.Source: Musikalische Nebewtunden, 4 vols. Einteln, 1787-8)

1n1792, at the age of 21, Beethoven settled inVienna, where he was feted by the local aristocracy, establishing himself as a piano virtuoso, at firstin private homes, but from 1795 in public too. That year he is thought to have composed the Six Minuets, WoO 10, in their original orchestralversion which, however, no longer suwives. The Minuet in G comes from Beethoven's own keyboard version, which dates from the followingyear. The dgramics at the start of each strain of the minuet are editorial suggestions only, as are the slurs in bb. 24 (RH) and 32 (I}I) of the trio.Source: W Menuenenfi)r das Clauier (Vienna: Artaria, 1796)

Walter Carroll (1869-1955) was a Manchester-born music educator and composer. He played a vital role in the musical life of his native city,teaching at the Royal Manchester College of Music and at Manchester University, and acting as Music Adviser to the Local Education Authority.He composed many fine elementary piano pieces for children. Of Sea ldyllshe wrote: 'These little pieces should be regarded as short studies incolouring and expression. They are sound-pictures in miniature, suggested by recollections of a visit to the beautifirl rockbound shores ofGalloway, where the mystery of the sea and the flre of the sunset weave their magic spell around a coast-line full of romantic interest.' 'Alone atSunset' is prefaced by a motto from Shelley: '... And there the sea I found / Calm as a cradled child in dreamless slumber bound.' For a moreflowing feel, this piece might be played at a slightly faster tempo, e.g. J = 66. Either this tempo or the composer's metronome mark would beacceptable for this piece in the exam. In b. 11, the editor has added a slur in the lower RH part by analogy with b. 9.

Arthur Benjamin (1893-1960) was an Australian-bom composer and pianist who studied composition with Stanford at the Royal College olMusic from 1911 to 1914. He taught piano at the Sydney Conservatory from 1919 to 1921, then settled in London, becoming a professor at theRoyal College of Music in 1926. His piano pupils included Britten. Of 'Soldiers in the Distance' the composer wrote: 'Tone control is all-importanlhere. Play the staccatos as though the keys were red-hot. Even in the legato marks in the RH the flngers must be clearly articulated. And of courseyou will not play all the crotchets in the LH alike; make the tiniest accent on the strong beats. You wiII flnd it necessary to give the tied semibrevesenough tone to keep them vibrating through two bars.'Sovrce: Fantasies for Pi.ano Solo (London: Winthrop Rogers, 1933)
