                  Majority of the  candidates avoided this question which is on the 
                    history and literature of Western music. Perhaps  the reason for 
                    this is because they have option in other questions. However, the 
                    few that attempted the question performed poorly.  
                    The following are some of  the expected answers among others:  
  (a)(i)A type of chamber music performance  consisting of a 
                    piano, a violin and a cello.  
  (ii) An  instrumental music composition associated with a 
                    story, poem or a story or music depicting story or  
                    scene.  
  (iii)A  composition for a vocal solo with piano 
                    accompaniment.  
                    (iv) A set of dance-inspired movements  music of Baroque 
origin for solo instruments, small groups or orchestra
