Here is a test with 3 questions/excerpts of 12 marks each covering baroque, classical and romantic music. Questions 1 and 2 contain scores to test basic theory.

Example questions: Using letters, what is the structure of this piece? Which key is the first section in? Which note values can be seen in bar 15? Which term best describes the texture in bars 14-17? From which period is this piece? (multiple choice) Which R word describes the fact that the tempo is not strictly adhered to? Other than tonality, what differences are there between the first and second sections of this excerpt? Please come back to review if you think this will help others!
