Examiners are trained to evaluate performances using a variety of editions for repertoire as presented at examinations. Reliable editions provide accurate indications of composer’s intentions, whenever the composer’s text includes that information. If the Nocturne which your student wishes to play is not on the Piano Syllabus, 2015 Edition list for Level 9, please refer to information regarding substitutions, pages 10-11, Piano Syllabus, 2015 Edition, for complete details.
