I'm working through a G6 past paper from 2009, Paper A. In Question 4 D it asks me to identify a changing note in the left-hand part, but I can't find it. I took it to my flute tutor today, and he couldn't find it either. Just wondering - if anyone has this paper, please could you point out where it is?

Puzzled.

Sorry, don't have it.

But, I believe that, the model answers are available.

I have the model answers but right now I am stuck underneath 2 cats so I can't actually reach them.
I will look up the answer for you when the cats deign to move themselves.

Cats moved so here is the answer:

Either:

Bar 4 4th quaver C

Or

Bar 10 4th quaver G

It's the 'C' quaver in bar 4 - bass clef part - there is also one in bar 10 - the 'G' quaver I think.

Ah, thank you.

But sadly, I'm still puzzled. I looked up changing notes in my music dictionary and it said that it was an unaccented non-harmonic note, quitted by a leap of a third, most commonly downwards.

But - unless I have completely lost the plot (always a possibility) - neither of these notes is quitted in this way.

Am I missing a proper definition of a changing note?

Please help!

To be honest I don't think I ever got to grips with that particular question - I like you got the same definition but could still never work it out. I just accepted the answer they put in the guide, and then prayed like mad that a similar question would not come up!!

I'm sure that someone else on here will be able to help you though.

Yes, let's hope..........



Edit: Were you lucky on the day, rabbit?

Oh yes!!!
