Features: The revision of this graded repertoire collection features the most significant change of expanding the original eight pieces for each level to twelve pieces, aiming to provide learners with a broader range of selections and greater choice for teachers and students. Additionally, there are three key features: 1) Expanded coverage of authors and works, while striving to ensure the selected pieces are more representative; 2) Conscious inclusion of creative compositions from the late 1980s onwards to address the original collection's lack of such works, making the new edition more comprehensive, diverse, and distinctive; 3) Adjustments in the arrangement of pieces across levels based on years of grading experience, aiming for greater rationality and scientificity. It is particularly important to note that pieces marked with an asterisk in the table of contents are designated as required examination pieces. For each level, there are two traditional pieces marked with an asterisk, from which one must be selected as a mandatory piece. For creative compositions, levels 1-9 have three pieces marked with an asterisk, while level 10 has four, and one must be selected as a mandatory piece.
