Easiest ABRSM piano Grade 8 2025-2026 pieces!!!!

Which pieces have you guys chosen?? Which ones are easiest to play :frown: ??
I’m thinking of A1, B2, and C2 - I’m not sure what to do for own choice piece.
I haven’t played in ages and music isn’t a focus of mine so I want to choose something easy…

I haven’t played for a year and a half so I want to choose something easy…

Are you doing online or in person? As I’m sitting grade 6 and not sure what to do!?

if you're willing to pick a 4th piece from the previous year's syllabus do C1 - its super easy, it shouldnt even be a grade 8 piece icl but i am very glad to have chosen it :smile:

yeah the fourth piece can be absolutely anything as long as it’s grade 8 standard - it doesn’t even need to be in the syllabus of any year! i only pick from previous syllabi though just to be safe
