Anyway, I trust your word, and take into account your advice on Suzuki 2, Solos series and Reading. I know that different aspects of technique evolve at different paces, so usually I find myself learning at the same time a "Grade 6" piece and a "Grade 8" one, and maybe finding the first one more difficult, depending on the main technique involved.
