NYT Strands today (game #302) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #302, are…
- SONATA
- PRELUDE
- CONCERT
- SYMPHONY
- OVERTURS
- SPANGRAM: composition
- My rating: moderate
- My score: 1 suggestion
I admit that I always thought that some of these descriptions for pieces of classical music meant the same thing. That saying something was a CONCERT was the same as saying something was a SYMPHONY and that a PRELUDE was just a shorter OVERTURE that came at the beginning of the aforementioned Concert or Symphony.
Despite my deep research on the topic (hello, Wikipedia) I’m still a bit unsure, but I’m 100% sure that they are all types of COMPOSITION.
Regardless of my terrible ignorance, today’s Strands was a relative breeze once I gave up trying to make Composers the spangram. Twelve minutes when I would be better off listening to Felix Mendelssohn’s fourth movement Symphony No. 3 in A minor.
