In this video I show you the steps you should take to complete the Trio Sonata (Q1) question found in the ABRSM Grade 8 Music Theory exam. The full lesson for this method is part of my Complete Grade 8 Music Theory course which you can find here https:/courses.mymusictheory.com/courses/grade-8-music-theory-abrsm
This question tests your knowledge of figured bass, and ability to use the figures to reconstruct a 3-part contrapuntal piece in the Baroque style. You will need to know how to handle dissonances, voice-leading, cadences and much more.
