Observation

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
