My main piece is Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" I've already managed to memorise the 10 page final movement so that's most of the work done! smile.gif
Thats about 15 minutes so far although I'm debating whther or note to do the first 4 page repeat. Without it, it must be about 12 minutes.
I'm working through the following pieces..... Liszt's Petrarc Sonetta 123, Debussy's "The Sunken Cathedral" and Gershwin's "The Man I Love" (memorised this one) and "I Got Rhythm"
That all ads up to about 30 minutes I think. I might need to add an extra, maybe Baroque piece of my own. I suppose I could even do my Grade 8 Prelude and Fugue again as I made such a hash of the Fugue.

Are there's distinction in Diplomas?? Or is it just fail and pass??

Yes. Technically there are various passes too (pass, clear pass, high pass if memory serves) but the certificate just either says distinction or doesn't - the level of pass isn't indicated.
