Piano Exam Pieces 2027 & 2028, ABRSM Grade 6

The overall choices from grade 6 is pretty fine or good, so I'd like to elaborate how good every piece is chosen. 5/5 means best, 0/5 means worst.

A list (Overall choice: Moderate)
A:1 Minuet: There are a lot of large hand leaps making younger piano players harder. Also it is difficult for the hand coordination. I'll give it a 3/5.
A:2 Allegro (nickname Sonata Facile): The song is probably unsuitable for grade 6. The worst thing is that it is so recognised that it is so probable to be judged harshly after the exam performance. I'll give it a 1/5.
A:3 Polonaise in G minor (Chopin): This song is so accessible for beginner players. But the well-known level is not at high as the Mozart sonata. I'll give it 4/5. I mean also this is the easiest piece to learn, taking exactly less than one week with polishing and practising by sight-reading.

B list (Overall choice: Good)
B:1 Summer Moonlight: good, but the polyrhythms may be hard to manage for grade 6 students, I'll give it a 3.5/5
B:2 Vals poetico by Granados: Perfect, it is easy to learn, and mirrors the 2023 2024 Vals poetico. I'll give it a 5/5.
B:3 Adagio in F: easy to learn, but the dynamics maybe slightly harder to learn or control. I'll give it a 4/5.

C list (overall choice: moderately good)
C:1 Sultana by Gonzaga: 2/5: it is so hard for a general grade 6 piano learner to learn because of the trills and the ultra-fast arpeggios.
C:2 Spring sunshine: 4/5: it's easy to learn, but the hardest part is the irregular 5/4 time signature. Accessible.
C:3 Reigen: the RH part needs practice and the overall difficulty is pretty complex and needs a good sense of hand coordination. I'll give it a 3.5/5

The overall difficulty comparing with the ones in 2025-26 is harder.
