peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1notated Explanation: It's rather ambiguous, but I would interpret it as meaning that key changes (modulations) were signaled by inserting a new key signature rather than simply using accidentals. I.e., the entire key shift is "notated" (indicated in the printed music). "In music, modulation is most commonly the act or process of changing from one key (tonic, or tonal center) to another. This ***may or may not be accompanied by a change in key signature***." |

notated Explanation: They may mean that the modulations to be played are notated in the score. However, since 'note' is a noun and 'noted', meaning 'containing notes' is not a word, the use of 'noted' is technically correct. But, as you point out, it's confusing to the reader. 'notated' is commonly used when describing the markings in a score that indicate the composer's intent for the musician. |

12 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2indicated Explanation: I think it's "indicated". I assume the student has been asked to harmonise a piece in the style of a Bach Chorale (as I was, once) and the student has indicated with a written comment that they have modulated to a different key. Do you have the exam paper in front of you? |
