The Neapolitan
Today wraps up the preview phase of our music theory quiz, which will emerge in our standard formats in due course. But first, here’s one last question for you to grapple with.
Rhythm fascination
Today we bring you the ninth question of our music theory quiz, and it’s about time too. Of four familiar musical forms, we ask, which one is in six-eight meter?
Guido
Music theory quiz, question eight, takes us somewhere into the murky middle of medieval obscurity and the life of the Benedictine monk Guido d’Arezzo, who gave us what?
The microtone
Question seven of our new music theory quiz delves into the word ‘microtone’. If you don’t already know what it means, this can only be viewed as a gilt-edged opportunity to find out.
An instrument for Erik
Erik Satie (1866-1925), a composer whose written directions to performers often took the tone of surrealistic liner notes, is today’s subject, as we ask: What do you play Satie on?
