I'm quite surprised to only now run across your quiz! i have over 20 classical music quizzes entered. A couple of picky details---a fermata is not a pause. It indicates to hold a note longer than its actual value.

In 75 years of performing and teaching music, I have never used or seen the term "casesura."

'Opus' simply means "work" and its use is not restricted to 'major composers.'

Thanks for sharing!

You might consider changing the title to begin with 'classical music' as that can bring in more participants searching for that subject.
