Question

1. What is the chromatic signs (or accidentals) used in this music?

Answer 1

Answer:

Question 1

There is a sharp sign in the key signature (between the clef and the time signature), signifying that all the Fs in the piece should be sharpened (raised by one semitone).

In bar 2 there is the addition of a natural sign in front of the F and a flat sign in front of the B of the chord in the top stave.  The natural sign signifies that the F should be played as an F (cancelling the F# of the key-signature) and the flat signifies that the B should be played as a B flat (lowering the B by one semitone).

Question 2

A quarter note has a closed note head and a stem (it is not connected to any other note)

Quarter notes:

Bar 1:  1 (top stave)

Bar 2: 1 (top stave)

Bar 3: 1 (top stave)

Bar 4: 8 (4 in the top stave and 4 in the bottom stave)

Total quarter notes: 11
