Abrsm 2025 & 2026br Grade 3 Piano Exambr Category B 3br Song Name Song Piece Always With Mebr Composer Youmi Kiura And Wakako Kakubr Recommended tempo is for this piece is 126bpm, but although that is the printed metronome mark, students might prefer a slower tempo, such as 112bpm, as mentioned at the bottom of the page, in the footnotes of the Grade 3 (2025 & 2026) exam book. The tempo played in this video is based on 120 bpm, which seemed a nice speed to play it at.br A good legato (smooth) touch is required throughout, and although no pedal markings are written in the score, I used some light sustain pedalling, in order to give the piece a calm and floating feel. Dynamics are straightforward, but make sure the left-hand slurred crotchet pairs in bars 19 - 32 have a slightly lighter 2nd note in each bar, which will help to enhance that calm and care-free sound needed. There are no rall. or rit. markings at the end, but a slight slowing in the final few bars could work well. Also remember to play the final chord paused, as marked.
