Candidates must provide an accompanist or page turner (or both) if required. Candidates must provide the Examiners with two copies of each piece they are performing, in the edition being used. In addition candidates should provide the Examiners with two copies of a programme setting out the pieces in the order in which they are to be performed.

(ii) The essay should discuss the reception or performing history (including, where appropriate, the recording history) of one of the pieces chosen by the candidate for the recital.
