1 Theory Placement Exam 1 Full Name: This exam begins with melodic and harmonic dictation, and then covers some basic music theory, analysis, and writing skills. I. Melodic Dictation You will hear an excerpt from a symphony (track 1) and from a German Lied (track 2). Track 1. Notate the violin melody on the staff below. The first note is provided for you. Play track 1 no more than five times! Track 2. Notate the soprano melody on the staff below. The first note is provided. Play track 2 no more than eight times!
2 Theory Placement Exam 2 II. Harmonic Dictation You will hear excerpts from two German Lieder. Track 3. Notate the bass line and indicate chords using Roman numerals and figures. Specify the key before writing your Roman numerals (for the key of A minor, you would write a: and if it were in A major, you would write A: just preceding the Roman numerals). If any bass note is unclear, pick a note that makes sense in the context of the chord progression. Play track 3 no more than five times! Track 4. Notate the bass line and chords as you did for the previous harmonic dictation. Please note that this excerpt modulates. Please reflect the change in key with your Roman numerals. Play track 4 no more than five times!

7 Theory Placement Exam 7 VIII. Minuet Analysis You will be asked a number of questions about form, cadences, and chords in the minuet from Haydn's String Quartet in G minor, Op. 20, No. 3 (Hob.III:33). The score appears starting on the next page. To hear the music, play track 6. Form 1. The Menuetto is in rounded binary form. It is called rounded because of one significant event. Give the measure number in which this event begins. 2. What compositional technique does Haydn employ in mm (immediately following the double bar)? Circle one. a. imitation b. double counterpoint c. sequence d. modulation e. pedal tones Cadences The four questions that follow ask you to locate cadences in the Menuetto. Cadences involve motion from one chord to another. Give the measure number in which the final chord of the cadence occurs. For example, if the tonic chord of an authentic cadence were to occur in measure 50, you would locate the cadence by typing 50 in the space provided. 1. Provide the measure number for a perfect authentic cadence in G. 2. Provide the measure number for a perfect authentic cadence in D minor. 3. Provide the measure number for a perfect authentic cadence in B-flat. 4. Provide the measure number for a cadence on root-position V in G minor. Chords Identify each of the chords marked by an arrow in the score (on the next two pages). If a modulation takes place, indicate the key and label the chord in terms of the new key.
