Could someone grade Schubert Impromptu op 90 no 4 in A flat major (ABRSM or Trinity grade)? I would like to play it someday and want to know how difficult it really is.

I'm not familiar with ABRSM, however Royal Conservatory of Music (Canada) has this piece listed in the Grade 10 Romantic Repertoire requirement section. RCM has 10 grades and an Associate level (ARCT). Cheers allthumbs  |

10? The score looks more like 8 or 9. Grade 10 RCM is about Grade 7 or 8 ABRSM.

Ab impromptu, eh? Probably 7 or 8. If you mean the eb impromptu, it is probably beyond Abrsm. I find their level 8 selections to be rather easy.

I have re-read the list about 5 times now, and I still only see 1 impromptu. Are we looking at the same edition? They change listings every 10 years or something. Are you looking at a very old listing? |

Okay, I'll give you an entire list and see of they're the same.
1. Prelude and Fugue in D major, BWV 850, Bach
2. French Suite No. 5, BWV 816, 2nd and 3rd movements, Bach
3. Cappriccio sopra la lontananza del fratello deliettissimo, 4th, 5th, and 6th movements, Bach
4. Sonata in E major opus 14 no. 1, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd movements, Beethoven
5. Sonata in B minor Hob. XVl:32 1st, 2nd, and 3rd movements, Haydn
6. Sonata in E flat major K 282 (189g), Mozart
7.Waltz in E minor, op. post., Chopin........
There are 44 songs in total but if you want the rest I will post them. It's just a pain in the butt to list them all.

I think you're looking in the repertoire book. In the syllabus it lists the rest of the grade 10 repertoire that isn't in the book (youre right, there is only one in the repertoire book)

yes. (or at least, every piece grade 10 level that you are allowed to play in exams) |

Wow. Wouldn't that be a lot of songs? 100-200 different songs?

There's like 20-50 pieces in each list in the syllabus, you should get one, because often the pieces in the book are much [worse] than others in the syllabus, and by most of the pieces I mean List D/E

Is this syllabus that you are refering to available online? I would like to check out the syllabus for each grade if that is possible.
