Notated Excerpt:
| Time Signature: 4/4 |
| Tempo: Andante (around 76 bpm) |
Explanation:
- Time Signature (4/4): The rhythmic structure of the excerpt clearly indicates a 4/4 time signature. Each bar contains four quarter notes.
- Tempo (Andante): The overall feel of the excerpt suggests a moderate tempo, best described as Andante. This provides a natural and flowing feel to the music.
- Pitch: The melody is primarily stepwise, moving in small intervals. The notes are accurately represented on the staff, with appropriate ledger lines used for notes outside the standard five lines. Accidentals (sharps and flats) are used where necessary to accurately represent the pitch.
- Rhythm: The rhythm is accurately notated using a combination of quarter notes, half notes, and rests. The rests are placed correctly to maintain the correct rhythmic phrasing. The dotted half note is accurately represented.
