The Assignment
  1. Sketch the form. After a short introduction you will hear verses, refrains and a guitar solo. The piece ends with a coda or fade-out.
    (The short introduction is the opening of La Marseillaise, the French national anthem. This is called a musical quotation.)
  2. Each verse uses the same music. Transcribe the time signatures used for the verses. "It's easy." (The guitar solo uses the same time signatures as the verses.)
  3. Each refrain uses the same music. Transcribe the time signatures used for the refrains.
  4. Finally, identify the musical quotations in the fade-out.
