Example Repertoire Exam A for Horn

Sample Repertoire Horn (Compositions Grade A Exam)

This book contains newly composed musical pieces that you can use for your Grade A exam. Well-known wind music composers specifically sat down at their composing tables (actually, composing computers) and devised this new repertoire: an extensive selection of suitable music that you can play during the Grade A exam and in preparation for it. Of course, you can also play this music on other occasions, for example when performing at a music school, with a music association, or during a solo competition.

There are pieces with and without piano accompaniment. So you can present yourself as a soloist, but also together with a pianist. For your exam, you will study at least two pieces with accompaniment (ensemble playing) and two without accompaniment. Perhaps you can even play certain pieces or parts of them from memory. Give it a try!

On the accompanying CD, you can hear how the music sounds when performed by a famous wind player. A good example is worth following, but don't lose sight of your own interpretation.

The piano accompaniments are also on the CD. This is useful if your teacher doesn't play the piano. But it becomes truly "real" when your teacher or another pianist plays the piano accompaniments. That's why we have printed them in this book.

At the back of the book, there are several 'prima vista melodies'. These allow you to practice 'sight-reading'. (There is also a separate book for this: Prima Vista Exam Grade A.) This is important because in your orchestra you will also constantly receive new pieces of music, and that's when 'sight-reading' comes in handy.
