Hi I am currently self learning Grade 5 pratical....

Can anyone help me in the aural portion regd style & period?
What is the meaning for imitative, fugal & lyrical?

Undestand from the aural book that when ask abt period...
is either baroque, classical, romantic or 20th century.

But come to style, how huh?

I think you do need to know a lot of style in Grade 5 but you do in Grade 6 and above.
Imitative is baroque period. (eg. the right hand plays a melody and then the left hand follows the same meolody after that)
Fugal...ummmmm let me check the dictionary.
Lyrical is like singing. Mostly in the romantic period. The melody is played loadly like someone singing.

Period:
Baroque-style=polyphonic(many molodies), imitative.[it is usually played on the harpsichord so the notes might be a bit detached)
Classical-style=homophony(1 melody), alberti bass
Romantic-style=homophony, expressive, pedalling
20th century-style=no tonal centre(many chromatic notes and absolutely tuneless) OR jazz like

I only have difficulty with baroque and classical.

Thks a lot. tzl tzl
I am more clear...regd the style & period.

So u waiting for your Gd 7 results?
