Answer 1

Program music is a type of instrumental music that tells a story or depicts a scene or idea. Among the titles listed, "Fugue in G Minor" does not represent program music as it is a purely structural and abstract form of music typically not associated with any specific narrative or imagery. The other titles—"Carnival of the Animals," "The Battle of Vitoria," and "The Sorcerer’s Apprentice"—are all programmatic works that convey specific stories or themes. Therefore, the correct answer is:

Fugue in G Minor

Answer 3

Among the genres listed, the one that does not require singers is the concerto.

• Opera, cantata, and lied all involve vocal elements with singers, as they include significant vocal parts.
• A concerto, on the other hand, is a composition typically for one or more solo instruments accompanied by an orchestra and does not necessarily include vocals.

So the correct answer is: concerto.

Answer 7

The clue that might suggest a score was written during the Baroque period is figured bass symbols.

Figured bass was a common practice in Baroque music, used as a shorthand for realizing chords on keyboard instruments. The other options are less indicative of the Baroque period:

• Monophonic texture could appear in various musical periods, not specific to Baroque.
• Pedal indications in the piano part refer more to Romantic and later styles.
• Whole tone scales are more associated with Impressionism and later styles.

Thus, the correct answer is: figured bass symbols.
