hey guys! i was wondering if you could help me out... I was just wondering if any of you knew if Chopin's Polonaise Op. 40 no.2 in c minor was on the Associate Diploma syllabus? Thanks a lot in advance!

i dont have the newest sylabbus that came out this year, but according to last yr's, no it isnt on the list.
and it likely won't be anyway, since the piano amus syllabus hasnt changed that much.

 

[GUSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

you can always ask nicely to see if your allowed to play a different piece

i was allowed to play rachmaninoff's prelude in c sharp minor for (cant remember if it was 8 or amus) exam.....so SOMETIMES they allow you...took a lot of effort though quite a few weeks before they agreed

ive actually never heard of doing that before!

if i were you, i'd just stick tothe sylabbus, its a lot easier. and theres plenty of good pieces to choose from anyway.

yes it is. its very popular too.

and yes im pretty sure the other one's not on the old syllabus. you might want to check the new syllabus though.

Thanks so much! omgsh i had prepared the other one AGES ago but i guess if this one isn't on the list i'm pretty much screwed... i don't know why my teacher keeps insisting its on the list B of the syllabus...

Hi sorry for late reply...but according to the 2009 syllabus, both Chopin's Polonaise Op.40 No.2 and Nocturne Op.9 No.1 are on the list

they will let you play it, but it wont count towards your marks in the exam (unless like you said, ask b4hand). so say the standard of your performaces was say, A+, the mark they'll give you would only be B+ cos basically you only played 3 pieces instead of 4 =( happened to my cousin and her friend when they did their eight grade exam. for the associate i dont think theyll let you pass if u do that...i think =(
