Question 1 Report
[Listening extract audio not available in printed QP]
Both hands play the same melody simultaneously, with the left hand one octave lower.
What type of musical texture. [1]
The texture is monophonic (unison in octaves). [1] Monophonic texture consists of a single melodic line with no harmonic accompaniment. When both hands play the same melody simultaneously with the left hand one octave lower, there is only one melodic idea present, even though it sounds at two different pitch levels. This is described as playing in octaves or unison. The distinction from other textures is that there are no independent parts and no chords supporting the melody.
