diplomas - notes about their repertories

[gerryjay]

dear fellows:
i'm very curious since a long time ago about what are the logics of syllabuses and examinations, what are they pedagogical stand points, how they develop in terms of technique and musicianship. well, that's just the top of the iceberg, but it's just to give an idea of what i'm about.

now, i'm working on a comparison of the diploma's repertories of the associated board (abrsm), london college and trinity guildhall. basically, my first goal is to discover what's similar and what makes (in terms of works) each of the three levels (dip or a, licenciate and fellow). notice that's nothing official, it's just for the sake of my own curiosity, for my development as a pianist and teacher, and for any use that someone could find. 

below, there are three list, representing what works are present in all lists, and what level it is. an * indicates that, even present in the three list, there are one of them different (for example, ravel's sonatine is DipABRSM but LLCM and LTCL).

any comments, complainings, suggestions, remarks...well, everything will be highly useful, and i thanks in advance for any input.

best wishes!
