What is musical form?

How do musical ideas define musical form? How do slight changes in the ideas define a section of music?

How do key structures help to define musical form?





In this unit, musical form will be discussed. The musical forms that should be covered are: Binary, Rounded Binary, Rondo, Strophic and Sonata. A special emphasis should be placed unpon the rounded binary form, or ABA form. This is a simple form that the students are able to grasp and use in their compositions. All elements covered up to this point should be incorporated into the students' compositions.
