Responses

Frédéric Chopin

Johannes Brahms

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Answer 1

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was not associated with the Romantic period. He was a key figure of the Classical era, which preceded the Romantic period. The other composers listed—Frédéric Chopin, Johannes Brahms, and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky—were all active during the Romantic period.

Answer 2

Which of the following is not a trait associated with Romantic composition?

Responses

expansion of the orchestra to use more instruments

expansion of formal structures to create longer compositions

shrinking of form to create miniature compositions for solo piano

heightened expressiveness and intensity of emotion in music

All of the above are traits of Romantic composition.

Answer 3

All of the above are traits of Romantic composition. Each of the options listed describes a characteristic feature of Romantic music, including the expansion of the orchestra, the lengthening of formal structures, the creation of miniature compositions, and the emphasis on expressiveness and emotional intensity. Therefore, the correct response is "All of the above are traits of Romantic composition."

Answer 4

In Chopin’s Nocturne No. 2 in E-flat Major, op. 9, no. 2, which technique is employed to connect long notes smoothly to each other in the melody?

Responses

Chopin added extra, decorative notes between the long notes.

The pianist uses the sustain pedal.

The pianist modifies the way in which she touches the piano keys.

all of the above

Answer 5

The correct response is "all of the above." In Chopin’s Nocturne No. 2 in E-flat Major, op. 9, no. 2, various techniques are used to connect long notes smoothly, including adding extra decorative notes (ornamentation), using the sustain pedal to sustain the sound, and modifying the touch of the piano keys for a more fluid legato effect.

Answer 10

Select the response that creates an accurate formula for the sequence 2, 3.5, 6.125. 10.71875 . . .

Responses

y=2(1.75)^x−1


y=2(1.5)^x


y=2/1.5x


y=2+1.75x

Answer 11

To determine which formula accurately represents the sequence 2, 3.5, 6.125, 10.71875, let's analyze the growth of the sequence.

It appears that the sequence can be derived from a formula of the form \( y = a( r )^x + b \) or similar exponential or polynomial forms.

1. Let's calculate the ratios of successive terms to see if it's more closely related to geometric or arithmetic growth:

- 3.5 / 2 = 1.75
- 6.125 / 3.5 ≈ 1.75
- 10.71875 / 6.125 ≈ 1.75

This suggests a multiplicative factor of 1.75, which indicates that the sequence can be modeled as starting with 2 and being multiplied by a factor of 1.75 as x increases.

2. Now examining the option:

- **y = 2(1.75)^(x−1)** correctly models the sequence’s first term as 2 when \( x = 1 \) (since \( (1.75)^{0} = 1 \)), and it provides the appropriate growth by a factor of 1.75 for subsequent terms.

Thus, the correct response that creates an accurate formula for the sequence is:

**y = 2(1.75)^(x−1)**.
