again.. Crank up the volume because this question is based on an excerpt that

00:16

will be played not one not two but three times the score is printed correctly but

00:20

in the version you'll hear there are errors in either pitch or rhythm our job

00:25

is to identify the error then never listen to this lovely excerpt again

00:29
