Analysis Exam - Chapter 3-4

The following test questions must be submitted by 2pm, Tuesday, 4/20/2003. You MAY (must!) use your books to refer to the music. You must complete the entire exam before submitting!

The dropdown menus will sometimes include choices that we have not studied yet. Don't pick them! The correct answers will be based only on material covered in class! Key signatures are indicated with UPPER CASE for major keys and lower case for minor keys. Lower case b is used to represent flats. For example: Bb is b flat major, bb is b flat minor.

Measure numbering begins with the first FULL measure! Therefore, the first FULL measure is measure 1 or m1. The second FULL measure will be m2 and so on. A FULL measure is one that has ALL of the beats and is not a PICKUP measure.

Make sure you have answered all of the questions! The answer that appears in the menu box is what will be submitted so if it says "pick one", then your answer for that question will be "pick one".
