Saturday, February 1, 2020

This topic is part of Area of Study 1 for AQA GCSE music and includes a ‘study piece’: the second movement of Haydn's Clock Symphony (covered in its own resource, Music Teacher, November 2017). Students will listen to unfamiliar excerpts drawn from the orchestral music of the three composers, answer questions about musical elements and context, and read and write in staff notation.
