Can you use FTCL programme for LTCL/ATCL?

Is there a rule where they don't let you use pieces you can play for FTCL, for LTCL or even ATCL?

I ran into an issue with this with the RCM system.  I think if you send them a letter/email/request for rep, they should allow it. 

This is a bit of an extreme, but if you had a program with a Chopin etude, Bach Prelude and Fugue, a Brahms Rhapsody, and then a horribly played Gaspard de la Nuit (blatantly more difficult), they probably aren't going to appreciate the higher rep choice

I agree though, there are some pieces in higher levels that could really be anywhere, it just happens they ended up in FTCL or the equivalent. 

If it fits stylistically with the program, and you are comfortable playing it, just find a contact on their website to request.

I am saying this based on my experience with RCM, but if someone can chime in, maybe your system might simply not allow special repertoire choices.

Thank you
I'm learning the Appassionata and might consider playing it for the LTCL, to save relearning a Mozart's A minor

I see from your signature that your play Cramer studies.  I have got a copy of them.  Was just wondering how you find them.  Are they worth the time?

Great choice! I played the Appassionata just under a year ago.  The first movement... my god there is so much detail in that.

Beautiful sonata, but very demanding! haha

It's lovely, but just so tricky in general. I've started learning Chopin's first Ballade and I'm finding the Chopin so much easier! My teacher said that she would like to me to play a Beethoven sonata and inside I was like "please be the Appassionata!" - she really did say it! She normally doesn't let me tackle pieces which she thinks are too tough for me, so I was pretty surprised yet delighted.

Hi Pytheamateur, I've never really done technical studies before so my teacher told me to get a copy of them. I think they're brilliant.
Czerny and Hanon, to me, are quite boring and tedious. Cramer however, is a bit more "musical" let's say, they're a bit more like actual pieces, like the Chopin. The Cramer etudes are quite basic compared to Chopin, Liszt etc. but that is a good thing right? Quite enjoyable to learn as well.
