Report

The Kinderscenen were written in 1838 (they are obviously Romantic, 1650 would be the Renaissance era which this music is definitely not from.) There is no rising sequence in bars 1 to 4 of No. 1, the melody (which is in the right hand) has a rising minor 6th and then descends. This main melody is 2 bars long and bars 3 to 4 are an exact repeat of it; there is no sequencing used - (i.e. the melody being transposed a note higher each time it is played.) Also Monophony = one line of music, in this piece there is a melody that is played at times in the right hand and at others in the left but is accompanied by chords in the other hand.

I think Megan (see above) has been a bit picky, as it tests everything relevant and I thought you covered a wide range of features, so thank you!
