Question

Which of the following would not be appropriate when performing a Baroque keyboard fugue?

1. vocal ensemble
2. improvisation
3. organ
4. terraced dynamics

Answer 1

1. vocal ensemble

Answer 2

A vocal ensemble would be inappropriate to perform when the music is in a Baroque keyboard fugue. During the Baroque era, the main focus in writing a fugue is only the compositional structure of the lyrics. In addition, this fugue is known to be accompanied by 500 harpsichord sonatas.
