Please include observations for every movement to which you listen.  There may mot be as much to say about short songs as for longer orchestral pieces, but be engaged and thorough.  Complete sentences are not necessary.  More than one piece or composer may appear on a page and you do not need to include the questions with your answers.  You may use the back of your paper.
