1In the C major scale, what is the interval from C up to E?
A.Major third (große Terz)
B.Minor third (kleine Terz)
C.Perfect fourth (reine Quarte)
D.Major second (große Sekunde)
Explanation: C up to E spans four semitones (C–C#–D–D#–E) and three letter names (C, D, E). Four semitones across three letter names is by definition a major third.
2What is the interval from C up to G?
A.Perfect fourth (reine Quarte)
B.Perfect fifth (reine Quinte)
C.Major sixth (große Sexte)
D.Augmented fifth (übermäßige Quinte)
Explanation: C up to G covers five letter names (C, D, E, F, G) and seven semitones, which is a perfect fifth — the interval that also defines the circle of fifths and the frame of every triad.
3How many semitones does a perfect octave contain?
A.Seven
B.Eight
C.Twelve
D.Thirteen
Explanation: The Western chromatic system divides the octave into twelve equal semitones. This twelve-tone chromatic total is also the basis of the twelve-tone row in dodecaphony.
4Which three notes form a C major triad (C-Dur-Dreiklang) in root position?
A.C – E flat – G
B.C – E – G sharp
C.C – F – A
D.C – E – G
Explanation: A major triad is built from a major third plus a minor third above it: C to E is a major third, E to G is a minor third, and C to G is a perfect fifth.
5A minor triad is built from which intervals above its root?
A.A minor third and a perfect fifth
B.A major third and a perfect fifth
C.A minor third and a diminished fifth
D.A major third and an augmented fifth
Explanation: The minor triad keeps the perfect fifth of the major triad but lowers the third by a semitone, giving root + minor third + perfect fifth (e.g. A – C – E).
6Which major key has exactly one sharp (F sharp) in its key signature?
A.D major
B.F major
C.G major
D.C major
Explanation: Moving one step clockwise on the circle of fifths from C major gives G major, which requires F sharp so that the seventh degree stays a leading note a semitone below the tonic.
7A key signature of three flats (B flat, E flat, A flat) belongs to E flat major and to which relative minor key?
A.A minor
B.C minor
C.G minor
D.F minor
Explanation: The relative minor lies a minor third below the major tonic and shares its key signature. A minor third below E flat is C, so C minor carries the same three flats.
8In C major, which succession of chords realises the full classical cadence Tonika – Subdominante – Dominante – Tonika (T–S–D–T)?
A.C – G – F – C
B.C – A minor – D minor – C
C.C – F – G – C
D.C – D – G – C
Explanation: In C major the tonic is C, the subdominant is F (fourth degree) and the dominant is G (fifth degree). T–S–D–T therefore reads C – F – G – C, the standard cadence pattern used in Liedbegleitung.
9Which chord progression forms a plagal cadence (the 'Amen' cadence)?
A.Subdominant to tonic (IV–I)
B.Dominant to tonic (V–I)
C.Dominant to submediant (V–vi)
D.Supertonic to dominant (ii–V)
Explanation: The plagal cadence moves from the subdominant straight to the tonic (IV–I). It is nicknamed the 'Amen' cadence because of its long use at the end of hymns and chorales.
10In C major, a Trugschluss (deceptive cadence) occurs when the dominant G major resolves to which chord?
A.C major
B.F major
C.A minor
D.E minor
Explanation: In a Trugschluss the ear expects the tonic but the dominant resolves to the tonic parallel — in C major that is A minor (the sixth degree). Two of the three notes of C major (C and E) are still present, which is why the substitution sounds like a near miss rather than a wrong turn.
