hi, i'm 12 , this year i go grade 7.. can anyone tell me what are some grade 7 pieces.

Mozart Sonata K283 first movement is a Trinity grade 7 piece.  If you google trinity piano syllabus you can see the whole list.

Or better still, he could Google the regular ABRSM syllabus- considering that it is the one that the vast majority of people use, and that he has given no indication of wishing to go with an alternate system.

Now who's trolling?  The vast majority of people don't play the piano.  Your hyperbole has got the better of you once again.  Trinity has as equal an international rep.

This guy does play the piano. He said so. Within the set of people  who play the piano, the largest subset of those who are interested in exams will favour ABRSM. Trolling typically consists of off-topic ad hominem posts. Not topical advice to balance posts containing propaganda. If you want to suggest a less standard syllabus, the least you can do is show the poster enough courtesy to acknowledge that you are suggesting an alternative to the more common syllabus and allow him to do his own research. Trying to push the Trinity syllabus upon him without so much as acknowledging that it is a considerably less common alternative to the most widely used examining board is totally out of order.

Also, please read what I wrote. I didn't say a word about reputation. It's not "hyperbole" to state that the ABRSM is the most widely used examining board.

I don't think the young person in question is about to be so concerned over which board suggestions come from - grade 7 is after all grade 7.  Chill, and maybe while you're at it actually answer his/her query.

Of course it matters! What if he starts learning a piece and only later discovers that his teacher wants him to do ABRSM- like virtually all do? You will have wasted his time. ABRSM created the grade system and is the board that is associated with it above all others. It's extremely selfish to sneakily point him towards one of the minority boards that ripped it off, without even acknowledging the standard ABRSM. It's all very well to want to mention alternatives but it's extremely unhelpful and misleading to make such a huge selective omission based on personal bias.

I already answered his query. I pointed him towards the syllabus for the board that the vast majority of people for exams and use as the yardstick for grades- ie. the ABRSM. If he prefers alternatives for some reason he might also look into the Guildhall.

Ignorance really is bliss with you isn't it?  Trinity founded 1877, ABRSM founded 1889.  Sheesh, take your trollings elsewhere s'il vous plaît!  and hey, trashing a 12 year old's thread - sad.

what... be nice guys.


Use the advanced search on this site. Enter in one of your favorite composers, check the advanced option (in my opinion, grade 7 is intermediate.. but oh well), check the sort by level option, and hit search.

Personally, I never even heard about grades until I reached the point where grades aren't necessary. More important than the difficulty of pieces is the ability to play them well in my opinion.

Well, perhaps I was mistaken- although, regardless of dates, I can find no conclusive evidence regarding the origins of the grading system itself. Anyhow, I'm not rising to your bait. I posted in this thread to ensure that your selective omission was rectified, in case the poster's time ended up being wasted by you. What is important is that the original poster receives the information that the ABRSM is THE STANDARD EXAMINING SYSTEM THAT IS USED AS A YARDSTICK BY THE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS AND TEACHERS. Ensuring that the poster is clear on which syllabus is actually going to be relevant (rather than forcing in a minority list without explanation or context) is rather more important than a history contest.

Having ensured that your post could not potentially mislead (for the sake of the poster and not because I give a damn about you) I am done. If you want to this thread to be about you and your personal bias towards an alternative, you'll be going it alone from now on.
