Finally the long awaited (to me, it's quite long..) new, upgraded ABRSM Pieces are out! A little twinge of disapointment that I have already finish graded exams (Whew!) hits me as I set my eyes upon the beautiful, nifty cover.
According to Libretto, this coming exam syllabus will have brand new sight reading pieces and a slightly difference in scales. Of course, the standard of examination will also be raised so it will stand equal with Trinity Guildhall and all other music examination boards.
Let's see this year's Grade 8 pieces...

Allegro (Sonata In E Op.14) [Beethoven, Ludwig Van]

I am sooo jealous that they have lots of good beethoven sonatas, Debussy's 2nd Arabesque and a nifty modern piece called Aligator Crawl (check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LK4tEA0oGc )
Those who are sitting for grade 8 next year, you guys are a lucky bunch!!
Well, as much as I enjoy starting new exam pieces, I am GLAD that I shall no longer have to go in for these exams for a while now. Good luck y'all!
