• V/ii (V of ii)
• B minor 7
• ii7
• F#7 (F# dominant 7)

Question 4)
Go to bar 8, then look at the top stave only. On the first beat, two notes are sounding: name the interval.

• Major second
• Fourth
• Minor third
• Diminished fifth
• Augmented second

Question 5)
Look at the uppermost note in on beat 2 of bar 12 (top stave): What is the enharmonic equivalent of this note?

• E natural
• F#
• A natural
• Ab
• G natural

Question 6)

Question 8)
In bar 19, on the top stave there is a quintuplet. We have removed the stems and beams and left only the note heads, with the ‘5’ symbol meaning quintuplet. Using the other notes in the bar, deduce what duration/time value this quintuplet should occupy

• Semiquaver or sixteenth note
• Crotchet or quarter note
• Quaver or eighth note
• Demisemiquaver or thirty second note

Question 9)
Looking at the same quintuplet as question 9 in bar 19. Assuming all five notes are of equal rhythmical value, how many beams do the 5 notes need? In other words, what note values should each of the quintuplets be made of?

• two beams – semiquavers/16th
• one beam- quavers 8th
• Three beams – demisemiquaver/32nd
• no beams – a crotched/quarter note

• Four semiquavers/16ths
• Three semiquavers/16ths
• Five semiquavers/16ths
• Six semiquavers/16ths

Question 13)
Go to bar 25 (the second repeat). On beats 1 and 2: what is this chord? (On beats one and two, there are melodic lines in quavers. These notes are effectively part of the chord). Tick ALL options that describe, or partly describe this chord. (3 marks)

• F#7b9
• IV chord
• The dominant of the relative minor V/vi
• The dominant 7 of E major
• B7
• F#7
• V7/V
• F# minor
