uhhhhhh cry and hope the dictation isn't that bad? but in all seriousness, look at the questions before you start the audio and write your ideas down first, label up the skeleton scores and yeah. also if your audios can be sped up/ slowed down use that to your advantage

No that one was really good imo, you could talk about the influence of nationalism and literature, the baroque one on the other hand wasn’t my best work lol
