And don't even mention the tritone.

I won't - it would never get resolved or even diminished.

When I did A level music we never got onto the counterpoint part of the textbook, just harmonised chorale tunes thus avoiding the diabolus. Sorry to stray, I think I've forgotten what this thread is about

Well, we're not totally OT, IIRC. We're discussing our qualifications. All we need to do is analyse the Flower Duet, and we'll be right there!

Did you know, btw, that A level music is taken by only 1% of sixth formers? That's low, like bottom E. But it makes you part of a select elite, so much better than having gold status. ^

No, it makes you part of a group of nerds that were no good at sport.

Well, I was quite a mean cross-country runner and rugby player. The former gives you a chance to think on your own, the latter to understand team dynamics. A perfect recipe for playing chamber music, one of the most pleasurable activities around (one of I said).

And of course I forgot my BA from the Courtauld.

I don't understand any of this but by the amount of titles you all have your IQs are all probably over 200

In America it is much simpler

Or maybe it's just a big con to persuade Americans we all have IQs above 200
