In regard to a musical selection known only to the
professor at this time (or, perhaps to students with several
thousand dollars to spare), you will be asked for various structural
information, such as:
Do specific measures constitute a period, or simply
a section?
Identification of specific units that apply to a
particular section of music:
-
contrasting or parallel period?
-
symmetrical or asymmetrical period?
-
elision?
-
link?
-
expository, transitional, developmental or
terminative in function?
-
... just the general hoopla one might expect on an
upper-level theory test.
