 Each title listed constitutes one work.
 Editions listed are for identification purposes only. Any recognised edition is acceptable. Before using an
alternative edition, students and teachers should check that it is in fact an edition of the listed work; that
is, it is not a simplified version or an arrangement of the work.
 Students should use information provided in the music by the composer, arranger and/or an editor
appropriately. Details added to the original score by an editor, such as fingering or dynamics, may be
varied to achieve the student’s intended interpretation of the work.
 Repeats, cadenzas and tutti passages are optional. Accompanists are not required to play all bars of the
introduction or lengthy passages following the conclusion of the solo part. Ornamentations and
embellishments are encouraged in the Baroque works.
 The closing date for alternative works and alternative instrument applications is Wednesday
24 February 2021.
