Explanation:
Most operas begin with an overture, an orchestral introduction that includes many of the musical themes of the piece.
1. An etude is a D. study.
The word etude comes from French and literally means 'a study.' Etudes are musical pieces written with the purpose of practicing and rehearsing one's musical talent. Many famous composers such as Chopin, Debussy, and others wrote them.
2. Russian nationalist wanted to compose music without B. western influences. I am using my logic here (which may or may not be correct). A nationalist is a person who loves his own country and culture above all and wants to keep it pure and free of foreign influences. Thus I believe the correct answer is B.
3. The fixed idea in Symphonie fantastique represents C. the artist's beloved. In each of the movements, the artist's loved one shows up and is then represented by a particular melody which becomes the fixed idea, or a leitmotif throughout this symphony written by Berlioz.
4. The main character of Bizet's Carmen is a D. Gypsy girl.
Carmen is a Gypsy girl from Seville in Spain and she sings her song Habanera every day. People, especially men, like listening to her beautiful voice. In the end, she is killed by her former loved whom she dumped for another man.
5. I am not entirely sure about this answer, so take this with a grain of salt. Personally, I'd say the role of the piano in an art song is to help tell the story because it is used as an accompaniment to the singer's voice. However, this may or may not be the correct answer.
