ABRSM diploma repertoire

[victorkcliu]

I am preparing for my ABRSM Diploma and below is my selected pieces for the recital.

1) J.S. Bach Preludes and Fugues from ‘The Well-Tempered Clavier’ BWV 859
2) Mozart Fantasy in D minor, K397
3) Chopin Impromptu no.3 in Gb, Op.51
4) Brahms Ballade in G minor, Op.118 no.3
5) Ravel Sonatine: complete

Is it a good programme? Mozart' Fantasy isn't in ABRSM's repertoire list and therefore I am not quite sure whether the piece meets ABRSM's standard. Should I replaced with Schubert's Impromptu No.3 instead?


Many Thanks and much appreciated.

According to this discussion (from a while back) the Mozart Fantasy has been set for Grade 6 by ABRSM and Grade 7 for Trinity, so it might be considered too "easy" for a diploma.

Apart from that, those are all good pieces, but perhaps the programme as a whole is a bit unadventurous, with the most recent piece (Ravel) being over 100 years old.
