Advanced Repertoire (Grade 7-8)
Advanced repertoire
Grades 7 and 8 repertoire sits on the threshold of professional standards. These are works that appear on conservatoire audition lists, major competition programmes, and diploma examination syllabuses, and they demand both technical command and mature musical interpretation.
The collection covers violin, viola, and cello with string orchestra or piano accompaniment, and includes concertos and substantial movements from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods alongside twentieth-century works. Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, Haydn, and the great Romantic concerto repertoire all feature here.
Well suited to conservatoire entrance auditions, diploma examinations, and major competition preparation. No performance licence is required, and all scores are available as instant PDF downloads.
If you're outside the UK and unfamiliar with ABRSM grades, the technical description above gives you a sense of the level and the full video preview on each score page is the best way to judge whether a piece is right for your situation.
