Observation

It was obvious that majority of the candidates did not study the prescribed works for question 2.  As a result, most of them avoided it while those that attempted it could not ‘do justice’ to the questions.

Some of the expected answers are:

Either sonatina in C (first and second movement) by M. Clementi.

(a) A small sonata.  A work with the formal characteristics of a sonata but on a smaller scale and often less technically demanding for the performer.

(b) classical period.

(c) Repetition, sequence, scales, alberti bass.
