Please leave a review if you found this helpful! GCSE Revision Notes for the set work “Badinerie” by J.S Bach, and preparation and advice for the essay question based on an unexpected extract. Suitable for Eduquas but also any other exam board that studies Badinerie, or has an essay question. The Badinerie analysis includes brief notes on several elements of the piece, as well as specific musical analysis, and a list of facts that could come up as one or two mark questions. The general music study includes elements of music to consider, and an example analysis of a film music piece for a film about war, including a list of features and instruments that are commonly heard. At the end of the document there is feedback on the example analysis, as well as a review from the examiner’s reports, for last-minute exam technique support. (any profit will go towards funding my first year at uni!)
