Sonata Form

A

A structure that composers in the Classical Era and since have commonly used for the first movement of sonata, symphony, concerto, or string quartet(or other similar chamber music work). It includes three main structures–the exposition, development, and recapitulation–and often begins with an introduction and ends with a coda. The exposition has two theme areas in contrasting keys. The development is based on material from the exposition. The recapitulation is a return to previous material stated in the exposition.

Q

Form

A

The shape or structure of a piece of music. Form is determined primarily by patterns of contrast and repetition. A two part form is binary (a b) no repetition. A three part form is ternary (a b a)– the first theme is d followed by a contrasting section, after which the first phrase or section is repeated. A 32 bar song form is a a b a–four phrases with the third phrase in contrast to the first two, after which the first phrase is again repeated.

Also see minuet and trio; rondo; sonata form; theme and variations; 12 bar blues; verse-chorus.
