Pre Final Examination in Integrated Music Theory

Name: _______________________________ Year/section: _______ Date: _____

I. Identify the following statement in each item.

_______________ 1. It is study of the fundamental structure or plan of a musical

composition or piece and its elements.
_______________ 2. it has a complete musical sense of its own built from motifs, figures
and cells to form a melodies to form larger sections.
________________ 3. It is the overall structure or plan of a piece of music.
________________ 4. It is a short musical idea, musical fragment and some succession
of notes. It is also the smallest structural unit possessing thematic identity.
________________5. It is the material, usually a recognizable melody, upon which part
or all of a composition is based. In forms such as the fugue this may be known as the
subject.
_______________ 6. This form uses two sections (AB...), each often repeated (AABB...).
In 18th-century western classical music, it was often used for dances and carried with it
the convention that the two sections should be in different musical keys but same
rhythm, duration and tone.
_______________ 7. This form is defined by its "unrelieved repetition" (AAAA...).
_______________ 8. It can be of any shorter form (binary, ternary, etc.), forms the only
"section" and is repeated indefinitely (as in strophic form) but is varied each time
(A,B,A,F,Z,A), so as to make a sort of sectional chain form.
_______________ 9. This form has three parts. In Western classical music a simple
ternary form has a third section that is a recapitulation of the first (ABA). Often, the first
section is repeated (AABA).

_______________ 10. This form has a recurring theme alternating with different (usually
contrasting) sections called "episodes". It may be asymmetrical (ABACADAEA) or
symmetrical (ABACABA). A recurring section, especially the main theme, is sometimes
more thoroughly varied, or else one episode may be a "development" of it. A similar
arrangement is the ritornello form of the Baroque concerto grosso.
