Grade 8 Theory:

Grade 8 Theory for Beginners. On the Piano the Notes are displayed A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D# E, F, F, F#, G, G# & A as described by the Keys Diagram with the C major Scale in the Right hand (RH) with G in the Left Hand (LH), the accidentals (the black notes) are either flat (b) or Sharp (#). Flats are notes moving down onto an accidental and Sharps are moving up. 

Imagine You wanted to play a whimsical melody holding the notes and pausing silently on the dots eg... 

In Simple Talk, there is 3 melodys in the excerpt below. 

The held notes, 

the melody expressed by the 'other notes,' and the broad melody and rhythms brought together. Theres a certain way how the piece 'writes itself.'

The first beat on the 'Anacrusis' the crotchet C to the 

lower F is an 'inner melody' remember this is held 

while the other C and Ab is played) is held implying 

an 'inner melody' at the 'cadence' or end of the piece.

The remainder notes of 10 quavers is held back for a 

comfortable finish on the Cadence at the end of the 

piece adding the 10 quavers or half notes to the end 

of the piece. 

In Simple Talk, there is 3 melodys in this excerpt the held notes, 

the melody expressed by the 'other notes,' and the broad melody and rhythms brought together. Theres a certain way how the piece 'writes itself.'

It's how Beethoven made a Melody, 'with the dots' my Uncle John would say. 
The Notes can be easily predicted thanks to the nature the chords come which We will observe next lesson. 

Beethoven used these held notes, and 'inner melodies' all through His works, to add tonal quality and 'triumphant' passages. 

A sequence is when the notes like Eb and Db, C, Bb, Ab, G, F almost scale like passages, 

when the Intervals is more then a tone like a 3rd and moving like a harp in a chordal sequence is called an Arpeggiotic Sequence or "Arpeggio,'

From the Italian for 'Harp like.'
