The set of pitches that the treble clef represents are higher pitches.
To answer the question, "What set of pitches does the treble clef represent?", we need to understand what the treble clef is and how it represents pitches.
The treble clef is a symbol used in musical notation to indicate higher pitches. It is also known as the G clef because it curls around the line that represents the pitch G. By placing the treble clef on a staff, it establishes the position of the notes on the staff and indicates which pitches correspond to each line and space.
To identify the set of pitches represented by the treble clef, we can refer to Example B mentioned earlier, which shows two measures of notation on the treble staff in four-four time. By examining the notes and their position on the staff, we can determine the pitches.
Without seeing the specific notes in Example B, it is not possible to state the exact pitches represented by the treble clef. The set of pitches represented by the treble clef depends on the specific notation shown in Example B. The treble clef can represent a wide range of pitches on the staff, typically higher in pitch compared to the bass clef.
Therefore, the correct response is "higher pitches".
