Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In piano, great stress will be placed upon the standards of the work played. Scales and arpeggios for graduation must reach from 900 to 1000 notes per minute and octaves from 700 to 800. This will demand a technical equipment which will enable the pupil to play the larger works of piano literature at tempos, which the artists maintain. Candidates for graduation must be able to perform a given piece after one week's study without the aid of a teacher.
