Hiya, I have my Grade 7 on Thursday, was just wondering for "Elegiac Blues" whether you say "elegiac" as "eleeeegeeeac" or "elegaic"? Don't want to look an idiot in from of the examiner!! Thanx

just say the number and letter of the piece! like B2 or whatever it is!hang on this is probs too late, so anyway how did you say it!

i said C1 and then he pronounced it ElegIIac blues so im v glad i didnt guess either! thanx for replying

I did that piece too... but I killed the middle part.
Anyway, in the aural part, she asked me for a possible composer, so I said Grieg. But I pronounced it wrong, I said "Greg". And she said" Greek, you mean?"
Then I quicky said a yes. I was soooo embarresed.

I always just say the number because I am terrified of pronouncing things wrong. Once a little girl at my school announced her Berceuse as "Berkyoos" at a school concert and was teased for weeks, so at least in exams you can get away with numbers!

also, do you think that piece would make a good AS level performance piece? I'm taking the exam next year.

At a school concert i was accompanying this girl who was playing a prelude on the saxophone. She couldn't pronouce prelude and in the concert she said , 'I'm going to play preeelude!' and I was thinking nooooooooo!!

My sister might be playing Elegiac blues for Grade 7 but she's not really sure what piece to choose because most of list C is fairly modern stuff. My sister's not really into music with lots of dischords and odd rhythms (i'm not saying that type of music is bad though!! )
