ABRSM List of Pieces from the past

[sissco]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a list of    ABRSM piano examination pieces, for grade 7 and 8, from the last years. Because I can only find an overview for 2009-2010 on the site of ABRSM. And I really want to know what pieces they used for 2005 and 2006 etc.

Thank you for your time,
Sisss

A list of ABRSM pieces from the future would be even more useful, as it would give you more time to practise However, you can get the previous syllabus (2007-2008) from the 'syllabus overlaps' page at https://www.abrsm.org/?page=exams/gradedMusicExams/oldSyllabuses.html . I don't know about anything before that.

Hi Jim,
Do you happen to have the list for grade 2 & 4 (2005-2006) as well?

Thanks in advance.

Billy Mayerl???!? There wasn't any Billy Mayerl in my day - I'd have played it like a shot!

There wasn't any Takemitsu either, but then the piece in question quite likely wasn't written when I did Grade 8.....
