Ernest Gillet, a master of the light salon genre, composes a rhythmic and infectious character piece depicting a mill. The piece utilizes constant semiquaver movement to suggest the mechanical turning of a wheel.
Maintaining rhythmic precision in the steady semiquaver patterns is vital for the 'mechanical' character.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
Au moulin is rated Henle level 3 of 9 — late beginner repertoire, roughly ABRSM grades 4–5. In the RCM system it corresponds to about level 5.
You should be comfortable at Henle level 3 — meaning you can already play level 2–3 pieces cleanly. Learning it one level early is possible as a stretch piece, but more than that usually leads to months of frustration.
A typical performance of Au moulin lasts about 2 minutes.
Au moulin is available as free public-domain sheet music on IMSLP — the score is linked directly from this page.
