Are repeated octaves permissable in a fourt part SATB? Great question -- my students got confused by this every year until I started putting it in bold type on the assignments. Use the term "oblique octaves" instead of successive, since that's a term others use to mean parallel. |

Small natural above C in G Major thanks. I was wondering if it was intentional. |

Key signature for writing in modes other than major and minor I imagine the tuba players must have run across this often, since if you're usually just playing the bass of I, ii, IV, V then adding a sharp and switching to the dominant doesn't ever use the new sharpened 7th degree. |

Difference between Baritone and Euphonium Thanks @CodyGuldner. I added a photo to give a bit more supporting evidence. |

Key signature for writing in modes other than major and minor Monica -- your answer brought back memories. I remember playing pieces in middle school where there would be a pair of key changes (say from C-major to G-major and back) where in the 1-sharp section I didn't have a single F or F# written so I wondered why the composer bothered to change the key signature for me. It wasn't until later that I realized the wisdom of showing a player the surrounding key/mode. |

What do you call plucking the violin strings with the finger, rather than using the bow? This site needs more questions like this -- basic music knowledge questions in addition to specific esoteric questions. Thanks Omega. FWIW, I believe the earliest mention of the technique (not called pizz, but carefully described in prose) is Monteverdi's Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda written around 1624, first printed 1638. |

Why note B is marked with H in Scandinavia and Germany? No. though I should've specified that by "previous note" I meant the note with a diatonic name below it. Soft-b (=flat) indicates a note a half-step above the note below it. So Fb was the same as F because they're both a half-step above E. |
