1st and 3rd movements. The Adagio comes up at Grade 7, or did back when
I was taking these things. I personally don't think it's any easier,
although the fingers don't move so fast. :-)

Actually I skipped 7 and went from 6 to 8, for which I played the Rondo
from the Mozart Concerto and the last movement of the Arnold Cooke
Sonata. When I was selecting pieces I had spotted that the Stravinsky 3
Pieces were on the study list; I didn't know them (or Stravinsky) well
at the time but thought it would be exciting to try to play something by
old Igor. So I bought them and brought them to my lesson to discuss
with my teacher.

He looked at them, counted the number of pages. "1, 2, 3, 4... How
much did you pay for this? £5 for 4 pages of music?"

:-P
