Unregistered	Hey..has anyone started learning the new g8 syllabus for 2005 yet. These are the pieces i think i will play Scarlatti Sonata in D CPE Bach Allegro assai Chopin ...er cant remeber wat tho i thought the scarlatti piece was surprisingly simple since my last exam was in g5 and i expected something a lot harder. But my teacher said its all about neatness n clarity..fir the B list i was thinking CPE Bach although i am having trouble with some sections..i may change it to the mozart Sonata in C though..i heard it online and it seemed nice..juz maybe a bit too long...for the C list i am stil undecided..i am not used to choosing between so many pieces before..hehe Anyone else doin g8 next year?wat r your pieces n wat do u tink is the hardest part of g8. My friends told me that g8 aural is a real killer, and the scales itself could take months to finish.i haven started on them yet anyway..i want to get the pieces out of the way first...any comments?
