Solution
-
"Some works may be largely atonal, but contain elements that create a sense of tonality." - This statement is true. Even in largely atonal works, composers can use elements such as repetition, emphasis, or contrast to create a sense of tonality or key center.
-
"It is no longer possible to distinguish between tonal and twelve-tone music." - This statement is false. While the lines between different musical styles and techniques can sometimes be blurred, there are still distinct differences between tonal and twelve-tone music. Tonal music is based on a key center or tonality, while twelve-tone music uses a series of all twelve chromatic pitches without a key center.
-
"Tonal music may contain consonant sonorities in addition to a central tone." - This statement is true. Tonal music often features consonant sonorities, or harmonies that are pleasing to the ear, in addition to a central tone or key center.
-
"Tonal music has been written in a wide range of styles." - This statement is true. Tonal music is not limited to any one style or genre. It has been used in everything from classical symphonies to modern pop songs.
