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
