A Handbook of Examinations in Music Containing 600 Questions, With Answers, in Theory, Harmony, Counterpoint, Form, Fugue, Acoustics, Musical History, ... Papers As Set By Various Examining

Handbook for candidates who are preparing for the various Local Examinations in musical knowledge, which are periodically held throughout the country. But it was afterwards felt that its scope might, with advantage, be somewhat extended, and the author hopes that this Manual will not only be found to fulfil its first intention, but that it will also be useful as a book of reference for students who are preparing for the higher grades of Diploma and Degree Examinations. The advanced questions Section viii., Part I. will show the class of question which Examiners usually set for these higher distinctions, and theM iscellaneous Papers given in Part III. will illustrate the differences between theE xamination Schemes of each University andE xamining Body.
