Finished the TMP take-away paper. It's ok I guess. Not particularly difficult in the normal sense of the word, but it was difficult cos all the melodies sounded disgusting! Actually no, my main grouse is the 'Schubert lied'... it sounded very communist. I'm not even sure if it was taken from a real Schubert lied cos they might not do that to prevent people from looking up the original harmonisation. However it might be real, cos there were translations of the lyrics too... don't tell me they went to make up some lyrics and melody haha. Or they might have used a Schumann lied, or some other less well-known composer? But I think the string quartets were not Haydn's. They were a bit too melodious, especially the second one. The first might still be quite Haydnish... I chose to harmonise it instead of the too-ornamented second quartet. There were two of each - Bach chorale, Haydn string quartet and Schubert lied - and we pick one of each to do. We certainly have advantage over some people cos we've done this before, for A level portfolio. There's a wide variety of different syllabuses that people take here, so I dunno what they did during A levels.
