Progressive listening and appraising resources

Ten questions with a score fragment and embedded clip, exploring melodic movement (conjunct, disjunct), note values (minim, crotchet, quaver, semiquaver) articulation (pizzicato, legato), compositional devices (ostinato, chordal ostinato) texture (octave doubling), recognising a melodic motif, locating widest rising leap, use of the natural sign, and identifying timbre based on role.
