It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.

0410/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2022 © UCLES 2022 Page 2 of 6 Generic Marking Principles These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1: Marks must be awarded in line with: • the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question • the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question • the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2: Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3: Marks must be awarded positively: • marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate • marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do • marks are not deducted for errors • marks are not deducted for omissions • answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4: Rules must be applied consistently, e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5: Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6: Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.

It is initially accompanied by simple chordal quavers from ripieno and continuo [1]. From bar 29 / later only the two recorders and continuo are used [1]. 3 30 Circle of fifths 1 31 Bach met the Margrave of Brandenburg in Berlin in 1719 while sourcing a new harpsichord for Cöthen. In 1721, Bach sent him a score of the six concertos, probably having been invited to do so. Bach may have seen this as an opportunity to gain employment. It is likely that Bach drew upon earlier compositions in creating the set. 2 – a good understanding with some detail 1 – some correct information 2 32 One mark per note 2 33 The fugue subject 1 34 A suspension is where an initially consonant note is ‘suspended’ to the next strong beat where it clashes due to the harmony changing. It then falls by step to resolve. In this passage, the solo violin notes at the beginning of each bar are suspensions, causing dissonance with the recorder part / bass. 2 – a clear understanding of suspension and an accurate example from the passage, however described 1 – some creditable knowledge 2 35 Initially the violin plays quaver / broken chords / scales [1]. The music then becomes more virtuosic / the violin plays (scalic) semiquavers [1]; finally the technique of bariolage [1] is used. (However expressed, the answer should refer to the increasing stages of virtuosity to gain 2 or 3 marks). 3 36(a) The first subject 1 36(b) There is a change of time signature from to [1].
