1In Western music theory, what is an interval?
A.The distance in pitch between two notes
B.The loudness difference between two instruments
C.The number of bars in a phrase
D.The speed of a piece measured in beats per minute
Explanation: An interval (Intervall) is the pitch distance between two tones, named by size (second, third, fifth, etc.) and quality (perfect, major, minor, augmented, diminished). Interval recognition underpins score analysis and Hörbeispiel judgment in Fachtheorie.
2Which clef places middle C on the first ledger line below the staff?
A.Bass clef (F-clef)
B.Alto clef (C-clef)
C.Treble clef (G-clef)
D.Tenor clef (C-clef on the fourth line)
Explanation: The treble (violin) clef is a G-clef; the spiral centres on the G above middle C, so middle C sits on the first ledger line below the staff. Score literacy of this kind is presupposed for reading Notentexte in the written Musik eA exam.
3How many sharps are in the key signature of D major?
A.One (F♯)
B.Two (F♯, C♯)
C.Three (F♯, C♯, G♯)
D.Four (F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯)
Explanation: D major has two sharps: F♯ and C♯. Recognising key signatures quickly is an AFB-I skill when scanning a Notentext before deeper harmonic or formal analysis.
4What does a time signature of 3/4 indicate?
A.Three quarter-note beats per bar (triple metre)
B.Four half-note beats per bar
C.Three eighth-note beats per bar only in slow tempos
D.That every bar must contain exactly three pitches
Explanation: 3/4 means each bar has the duration of three quarter notes—classic waltz/minuet metre. Metre identification is a first-pass Hörbeispiel and score skill.
5Which cadence typically ends on the tonic triad approached from the dominant (V–I)?
A.Plagal cadence (IV–I)
B.Deceptive cadence (V–vi)
C.Perfect / authentic cadence (V–I)
D.Half cadence ending on V
Explanation: The authentic (perfect) cadence V–I strongly confirms the tonic and commonly closes phrases in tonal music from Baroque through Romantic styles covered in LehrplanPLUS.
6Gregorian chant is typically characterised by which texture?
A.Homophonic four-part chorale harmony
B.Monophonic, unaccompanied melodic line
C.Strict twelve-tone serial counterpoint
D.Electric guitar-led heterophony
Explanation: Gregorian chant (Gregorianik) is monophonic liturgical song—single melodic line without chordal accompaniment. eA vocal-music overview begins with Gregorianik (LehrplanPLUS 12/1).
7What is a basso continuo in Baroque music?
A.A notated bass line realised with harmony (typically keyboard + bass instrument)
B.A solo trumpet fanfare introducing every movement
C.A metronome marking printed above the first bar
D.A choir that sings only on the final cadence
Explanation: Basso continuo (Generalbass) is a defining Baroque practice: a bass line with figures realised as chords, usually by harpsichord/organ plus cello/bassoon. Spotting continuo texture helps date Hörbeispiele to the Baroque.
8In sonata form, which section typically presents the main themes in the home key and a secondary key?
A.Recapitulation (Reprise)
B.Coda only
C.Exposition (Exposition)
D.Development (Durchführung) exclusively without themes
Explanation: The exposition presents Theme 1 (tonic) and Theme 2 (typically dominant in major works), establishing the tonal and thematic material later developed and recapitulated—core Classical instrumental vocabulary (LehrplanPLUS 13/1).
9What is a Lied in the Romantic sense emphasised in LehrplanPLUS vocal music?
A.A piano-accompanied art song for solo voice setting a poem
B.An unaccompanied medieval chant in Latin only
C.A twelve-tone orchestral movement without text
D.A jazz standard with improvised scat syllables
Explanation: The Romantic Kunstlied is typically a solo song with piano accompaniment setting poetry (e.g. Schubert). LehrplanPLUS cites the klavierbegleitetes Sololied as a Romantic vocal genre for analysis and historical placement.
10Which term describes music with two or more independent melodic lines sounding together?
A.Monophony
B.Homophony
C.Polyphony
D.Silence (tacet)
Explanation: Polyphony (Mehrstimmigkeit/Polyphonie) features simultaneous independent lines—central to Renaissance motets/madrigals and Baroque fugues studied in the Q-phase.
