1Under the LA26 Abiturerlass, how many written task proposals must a Music Grundkurs candidate choose from for the task type 'Erschließung von Musik durch Untersuchung, Analyse und Interpretation'?
A.One proposal only, assigned by the examiner
B.Two proposals; the candidate selects one
C.Three proposals; the candidate selects one
D.Four proposals; the candidate must complete two
Explanation: LA26 §10.3 specifies that Grundkurs candidates choose one of two proposals for 'Erschließung von Musik durch Untersuchung, Analyse und Interpretation'. Leistungskurs has additional options including Gestaltung and Praktisches Musizieren.
2What is the standard written examination working time for Music Grundkurs at Hesse Landesabitur under LA26 (Haupttermin), unless a subject-specific Erlass override applies?
A.180 minutes
B.210 minutes
C.255 minutes
D.300 minutes
Explanation: LA26 lists 'alle anderen Fächer' at 255 minutes for Grundkursfächer (300 minutes Leistungsfach). Musik GK falls under this rule; Kunst has a special extension only when the practical task with theoretical part is chosen.
3According to LA26 §10.6, how are Hörbeispiele (listening examples) presented at the start of the Music written examination?
A.Each candidate receives a private live performance in the exam room
B.All candidates hear the examples once collectively at the beginning, after the initial task review
C.Listening examples are optional and only provided on request
D.Hörbeispiele are distributed only after the written answers are submitted
Explanation: LA26 states that Hörbeispiele belong to every task; all candidates hear them once at the start of working time (after first sighting of tasks), then may replay via headphones throughout the exam.
4Which EPA Musik task type is NOT part of the standard Hesse Music Grundkurs written Landesabitur selection?
A.Erschließung von Musik durch Untersuchung, Analyse und Interpretation
B.Anteile zur Erschließung von Musik durch Erörterung musikbezogener Texte
C.Gestaltung von Musik mit schriftlicher Erläuterung as a separate selectable proposal
D.Analysis tasks that may include score-based Untersuchung
Explanation: LA26: GK chooses only among two 'Erschließung' proposals. 'Gestaltung von Musik mit schriftlicher Erläuterung' and 'Praktisches Musizieren' are Leistungskurs options when prepared and equipped in school.
5In 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 and quality. Interval recognition underpins score analysis in KCGO HB3 and written Erschließung tasks.
6Which 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: Treble clef centres on G above middle C; middle C sits on the first ledger line below. Score literacy is presupposed for Notentexte in Erschließung tasks.
7How many sharps are in the key signature of D major?
A.One (F♯)
B.Two (F♯, C♯)
C.Three (F♯, C♯, G♯)

Explanation: D major has F♯ and C♯. Quick key-signature recognition supports HB3 parameter description when analysing Notentexte.

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 three quarter-note beats per bar—classic waltz metre. Metre identification is a first-pass Höranalyse and score skill (HB3).

A.Plagal cadence (IV–I)
B.Deceptive cadence (V–vi)
C.Perfect / authentic cadence (V–I)

A.Homophonic four-part chorale harmony
B.Monophonic, unaccompanied melodic line
C.Strict twelve-tone serial counterpoint
