A few candidates responded to this question commendably, however, most of the candidates that attempted this performed woefully as they failed to highlight the following:
(a) - sustaining the sound – damper/sustenuto una cordal pedal;
- reducing the intensity;
- muting the strings – for special effect.
(b) (i) a close musical score of right and left hands (great stave)
(ii) an open score for different groups of orchestral instruments
(c) (i) turn, gruppetto (grouplet)
(ii) acciaccatura/crushed-in note.
