Answer 1:
(B) Germany
Johann Sebastian Bach, composer of the Baroque era, the most important member of a large family of north German musicians. Although he was praised by his contemporaries essentially as an excellent harpsichordist, organist, and expert on organ building, Bach is now commonly regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time and is honoured as the creator of the Brandenburg Concertos, The Well-Tempered Clavier, the Mass in B Minor, and various other masterpieces of church and instrumental music.
Answer 2:
(D) Theme
The initial use of the term "ritornello" in music related to the final lines of a fourteenth-century madrigal, which were normally in a rhyme scheme and meter that distinguished with the rest of the song. Scholars propose that the word "ritornello" comes either from the Italian word ritorno (meaning return) or from the tornado (meaning turnaround or flourish).
Answer 3:
(D) Subject
In music, a fugue is a contrapuntal compositional method in two or more voices, formed on a subject (a musical theme) that is included at the beginning in imitation (repetition at different pitches) and which recurs repeatedly in the course of the composition. A fugue normally has three main sections: an exposition, a development and a final entry that comprises the return of the subject in the fugue's tonic key.
Answer 4:
(A) A sort of musical shorthand
Figured bass, or thoroughbass is a sort of musical notes in which numbers and symbols symbolize pauses, chords, and non-chord tones that a musician playing piano, harpsichord, organ, lute play in connection to the bass note that these figures and symbols appear above or below.
Answer 5:
(D) Fast-slow-fast
Concerto grosso, a general type of orchestral music of the Baroque era, identified by the contrast between a small group of soloists and the full orchestra. The titles of early concerti Grosso often indicated their performance locales, and Concerto da camera (“chamber concerto,” performed at court), titles also used to works, not strictly concerti Grosso. Ultimately the concerto grosso prospered as secular court music.
