For the listening quiz on 9/3 you will need to know title, composer last name, and decade composed. You will be given a word bank of composer names and titles, but they will not be correlated.
It can help you to learn a piece by making a listening guide to each work. Use and audio editor like Audacity or Audition so that you can see an amplitude outline of the work while listening and also a time counter.
For each work, write down a list of events with a notation of time and with text descriptions. Make the descriptions focus on the quality of the sound (high, low, loud, short sounds, etc.). Avoid using programmatic, extra-musical descriptions.
