The qaarter-note triplets in lines 7 and 8 may p e e problems at firet. If so, the troublesome meas-
u r e s may be approached In the following manner: 1.) Practice straight quarter-note triplets with the
hands, while tapping quarter-notes with the foot; 2.) practice the passage in question without grace-
notes, taking c a r e that the sixteenth-note and eighth-note triplet figures are also executed correctly;
3.) practice the passage as is.

The many dynamic markings must be carefully observed here, with slight exaggeration of the cre-

n e theme of this exercise, presented in the first five measures, i s formed by a two-measure "ques-
tion" and a three-measure "answer", which are indicated very clearly by the dynamics. A variant of
*5e answer is employed in line 3, measure 2.

The subdivision of the 7/8 measure varies, with the most common groupings being 4/8 plus 3/8 and 23
3/8 plus 4/8 (as,respectively, measures 1and 2 of this piece. ) Other orderings, of course, may be,
a d have been used, and two of these have been incorporated into this exercise: line 4, measure 5,
which equals 2/8 plus 2/8 plus 2/8 plus 1/8, and line 8, measure 2, which equals 3/8 ~ l u3/8
s plus 1/8.

Since the speed of the dotted quarter-note becomes the speed of the quarter-note at the second line,
the eighth and sixteenth-notes will become slower in the 3/4. The reverse will happen inthe transi-
tion from the 3/4 back to the 9/8 in line 3. The foot tap, however, remains constantduringthe met-
r i c changes.

Again, the eighth-note remains constant, but the foot tap should be placed according to the phrasing.
All rolls in line 3 are to be given fresh attacks.

T5e designation "ABA" refers to a three-part form comprised of a first section ("A") in a particular 59
key, a second, contrasting section ("B"), in a different, but related key, and a third section ("A"),
similar to the first, if not an actual recapitulation of, it. This structure has been approximated here
as follows: "A" equals measures 1-6, in 4/4 meter; "B" equals measures 7-18, in 2/4 meter; "At1
equals measures 22-27, in 4/4 meter. Since the snare drum is incapable of expressing changes in
tonality, meter changes have replaced key changes in the respective sections. Further, measures
19-21 act a s a transition from the "B" back to the "A" section, and employ shiftingmeters just a s an
lmrmonic modulation would employ shifting tonalities. The last seven measures form a coda, which
d x s not add to the form proper.

Tze Sonatina is the largest two-part construction in music. The first section of the form begins with
an exposition of a primary theme, moves through aVbridge-like" portion into a secondary theme in a
different key, and usually concludes with a kind of coda. The second section recapitulates the opening
theme in the original key, often utilizes a transitory passage as a lead - in to the secondary theme,
a-Ech is, this time, also in the original key; the form may o r may not employ an appended, coda-like
closing. In this piece, the form has again been translated into rhythmic terms: Section I - primary
';erne, measures 1-5; transition, measures 6-7; secondary theme, measures 8-19; coda, measures
"-25. Section I1 - primary theme, measures 26-29; transition, measures 30-36; secondary theme
? original time signature,) measures 37-40; coda, measures 41-43.

A Song and Trio consists of a primary theme, a secondary theme, a mid-section, o r "trio", and a
recapitulation of the first and second themes. This piece i s organized along the same lines: meas-
ures 1-8 a r e the primary theme, measures 9-14 the secondary theme, the entire 3/4 portion the
Trio, and the remri.ning sixteen measures n recapitulation of the f i r s t and second themes.
