Description
The Grade 6 Piano Anthology 2025-2026 comprises a broad selection of examination pieces from lists A, B and C of
the ABRSM syllabus, together with a valuable selection of fascinating repertoire suitable for the own-choice section of the

The anthology supports students preparing for ABRSM Practical Exams or Performance Exams. Performance Notes are
included for each piece, written by Norman Beedie (Lecturer in Classical Improvisation, Piano and Conducting at the Royal
