This version of Alkan's Bombardo-Carillon represents the same technical and musical demands of his intense keyboard writing. The work is defined by its metallic resonance and structural grandeur.
Coordinate pedal timing to allow the bell-like resonance to bloom without blurring harmonic changes.
Bombardo-Carillon is rated Henle level 7 of 9 — late advanced repertoire, roughly ABRSM grade 8 and above. In the RCM system it corresponds to about level 10.
You should be comfortable at Henle level 7 — meaning you can already play level 6–7 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 Bombardo-Carillon lasts about 6 minutes.
