A.A - B - A - B - A
B.A - B - A - C - A
C.A - B - C - D - E

A.Countersubject
B.Subject
C.Answer
D.Episode
Explanation: The Subject is the main thematic idea of a fugue, stated alone in the tonic key at the beginning of the exposition before other voices enter.

A.Simple Binary Form
B.Rounded Binary Form
C.Strophic Form
D.Through-Composed Form
Explanation: Rounded binary form (||: A :||: B A' :||) features a return of the opening material of section A at the end of section B, serving as a historical precursor to sonata form.

B.Slow - Fast - Slow - Fast
C.Fast - Fast - Slow - Dance
D.Dance - Fast - Slow - Fast
Explanation: The standard Classical 4-movement symphonic format established by Haydn and Mozart is: 1st movement fast (Sonata-Allegro), 2nd movement slow (Lyrical/Ternary/Variations), 3rd movement dance (Minuet and Trio or Scherzo), 4th movement fast (Sonata or Rondo).
6In a Baroque fugue, what compositional technique involves overlapping entries of the subject before the previous entry has finished?
A.Augmentation
B.Diminution
C.Stretto
D.Inversion
Explanation: Stretto is a contrapuntal technique where subject entries imitate one another in close succession, overlapping before the initial statement completes, thereby increasing dramatic tension.
7Which section of Sonata-Allegro form modulates frequently through various keys while thematic fragments undergo rhythmic, melodic, and contrapuntal manipulation?
A.Exposition
B.Development
C.Recapitulation
D.Introduction
Explanation: The Development section creates tonal instability and drama through frequent modulations and thematic fragmentation before resolving into the tonic key at the Recapitulation.

A.Period
B.Sentence
C.Codetta
D.Sequence
Explanation: A Period is a balanced phrase structure comprising an antecedent phrase (ending in a half or weak cadence) and a consequent phrase (ending in an authentic cadence).
9In Theme and Variations form, which element usually remains recognizable throughout successive variations?
A.Harmonic progression or phrase structure
B.Instrumentation and timbre
C.Tempo and meter
D.Dynamic level and articulation
Explanation: While rhythm, melody, dynamics, and orchestration change across variations, the underlying harmonic framework and phrase structure of the theme typically serve as the binding foundation.
10What is the key difference between Sonata-Rondo form (ABACABA) and standard 7-part Rondo form?
A.The C section in Sonata-Rondo serves as a Development section, and the first B episode returns in the tonic key as a Recapitulation.
B.Sonata-Rondo never uses a tonic refrain.
C.Standard 7-part Rondo does not contain episodes.
D.Sonata-Rondo excludes all transitions between sections.
Explanation: Sonata-Rondo combines rondo refrain returns with sonata principles: the central C episode functions as a developmental section, and the final B entry is transposed to the tonic key, acting like a recapitulation.
