Is it 3 pieces you must play for a dipABRSM. I cant find anywhere where it say how many pieces are required.

Thank you for your help!

It's 35 minutes of recital plus or minus 10%

right. after 38.5 minutes this trap door under the stool opens up. . . .

I beg to differ.
I think you'll find that a red and white striped cane emerges from the wings, hooks round the neck of the performer and whips them offstage...

But seriously folks... Beethoven, ALL of this information is in the Diploma syllabus on the AB's web site. Have a read through, then there's plenty of diploma experience waiting to help on the Diploma forum!

I heard there was bomb placed under the stool with a 38.5 minute timer. And the examiner is the only person with the code to defuse it.
