What is analysing an unprepared score?Show answer
This order ensures you fix the key and metre before analysing harmony, and the harmony before the larger structure, so each step rests on the last.
What is confirming a key from a score?Show answer
To confirm a key from the printed notes, look for new accidentals that are not in the original key signature (they usually signal the sharps or flats of a new key) and find a cadence (especially a perfect cadence) in the new key. Identify the key by the notes the music now centres on and the chord that closes onto it.
