Repertoire in Different Countries

[johnjwong]

Hi, I am from Canada and I am curious about what pieces are in different country's examination system.

In Canada, it goes from Grade 1 to Grade 10, then 2 paths.  1 is ARCT Performance.  1 is ARCT Teacher Grade 1 - ARCT Teacher Grade 3.

In canada, Grade 10 piano has the following repetoire:
J.S. Bach - Prelude and Fugue in D Major
J.S. Bach - French Suit No.3
Beethoven - Sonata in E Mjaor op.14 no.1
Haydn - Sonata in B Minor
Mozart - Sonata in E Flat Major
Chopin - Waltz in E Minor
Nocturene in F Sharp major op.15 no.2
Brahms - Ballade in D Minor, op 10, no.1
Schubert - impromptu in E flat major op. 90, no.2
Schumann - intermezzo op. 26 no.4
Rachmoninoff - Melodie / Melody, op.3 no.3
Debussy - Brouillards

How does your country's examination standards like? And how are the repertoire ?

Dear johnjwong,

Thanks for the information about the Canadian exam system and the inquiry.   It's a subject many of us are interested in, at Piano Forum.  We've had contributions from the various English systems, the South African, some US-based and also Italian.  See the discussion at

https://www.pianoforum.net/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=stud;action=display;num=1088102691;start=7

Now I wonder if you could do us all a favor.  That is to give us the syllabus in the same way that Daniel_piano did for Italy -- the repertoire list for, say, grades 6 to 10, and the diploma ARCT performance?  Also, I'd be grateful if you'd indicate what the requirement is in terms of the number of pieces to play from each category.  This would be very useful for us all because this information about the Canadian system is nowhere available on the Web.

Regards,

Peter Moll

I hear that in China, they don't..'like'..classical music so much, and play more traditional music in their exams...
