1. Which of the following triads are in inversion (i.e. not in root position).

   • (C F A)
   • (B D G)
   • (E A C)

2. Choose which of the following triads are in FIRST inversion (b):

   

   • 2
   • 4

3. Which one of these triads is Vc (second inversion of the dominant) in D major?

   

   • 1

4. In the KEY of G minor, which one of the following chords is the third inversion of the dominant seventh chord (V7d)?

   • (C D F# A)

5. Consider the progression Ic, V7, I, in the KEY of C major.

   With reference to that chord progression, choose which of the following statements are correct.

   • The V7 chord would be G7
   • The lowest note lc would be G

6. Which kind of cadence is this?

   

   • Imperfect or Half Cadence

7. With reference to the previous question, which of the following BEST describes that chord progression?

   • I, Vb, I, IVb, V

8. Which interrupted (or deceptive) cadence finishes on this chord?

   

   • Interrupted cadence in C minor

9. The following chords are the last three bars of a Stevie Wonder song (we've simplified them a little):

   

   Firstly what key is this song MOST likely to be in?

   • D-flat major

10. With reference to the previous question, which of the following statements would describe the attributes of the FIRST chord?

    

    • It is a secondary dominant
    • It has a chromatically altered note.(i.e. a note that is not in the key)

11. At the end of this week's lecture, John played the Bach 'Prelude in C' (BWV 846). Why do those B-flats at the end not take us away from the key of C major, i.e. why are they not part of a modulation to F major?

    Choose which of the following help to explain this.

    • Because there is no perfect cadence in the key of F
    • Because of the C bass note running all the way through these last bars.
