The Grade 8 Piano Anthology 2017/2018 comprises a broad selection of examination pieces from lists A, B, and C of the Associated Board syllabus.

This anthology is enhanced by performance notes by Norman Beedie, Lecture in Classical Improvisation, Piano, and Conducting at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, giving guidance and promoting reflection on technical and interpretive matters for each piece. The volume is further enhanced by aural notes by Caroline Evans, author of the Peters Edition Aural Test Survial Books, which draw upon music in this anthology to provide preparation material for the type of discussion topics typically encountered in the Grade 8 aural test.
