1) works for piano, four hands are intended to be performed by
a) four players on two pianos b) two players on one piano c) two players on two pianos
d) four players on one piano

2) what is the tempo of the fourth movement of brahm's symphony no.4 in e. minor?

4) gioacchino rossini is best known for composing
a) opera buffa b) lyric opera c) music drama d) grand opera

5) a nocturne is a
a) slow march b) love poem c) song for solo vocalist d) night song

1. The correct answer is B. two players on one piano.
Four hands refers to two players, each of whom obviously has two arms and hands. However, they are playing on the same piano, rather than having one each, which would be called piano duo. Schubert was famous for his four hands piano compositions.

2. The correct answer is C. allegro.
Even the name of the fourth movement says that - it is called Allegro energico e passionato. This means that the tempo is fast and lively, and quite energetic and passionate. The other options do not fit this description.

3. I believe there are typically C. three movements in a Romantic concerto. This was the standard schematic for most concertos, not only the Romantic ones, but also those during Classicism, Baroque, etc. I am not sure about this, but I believe three is the correct answer.

4. Gioacchino Rossini is best known for composing A. opera buffa. I believe this is the correct answer because Rossini is famous for his libretto The Barber of Seville, which is considered to be opera buffa. Opera buffa is a type of opera which is comic in nature, and that is the most famous example there is.

5. A nocturne is D. a night song. I am not sure about this one either, but a nocturne is a song, or a musical piece which is inspired by night and usually performed during the evening/night as well. It isn't necessarily linked to love, it is not sung, but rather played on the piano, and it isn't a march either, so I'd choose D.
