What to prepare for Listening Quiz 2: (Quiz will be start at 2:45 on Tues. April 22)

You must bring a No. 2 pencil and your SECRET ID (Get this by looking at the "My Grades" link on the MUS1700 WebCT/Blackboard site).

There will be 12 musical examples on this quiz (ranging from the Baroque Era through the Modern Era).

All 12 examples are available through the MUS1700 (Musical Styles and Structures) "Listening Quiz 2 Review" folder on the "Classical Music Online" website.

For each example, you will answer 4 multiple-choice questions:

- What is the composer/title of this example?
- What is the style era of this example? (Baroque, Classic, Romantic, 20th century)
- What is the genre (compositional category) of this example?
- What is a term related to this example?

For each example, I will choose a section that will clearly represent the composer/piece/style/term, but not necessarily the first phrase. Each example will be no more than 1 minute long.  You will have three to four minutes per example to answer all four associated questions.
