Musical Forms

• Binary form consists of two parts of music with differences in sound and feel
• Ternary form has three parts, with the third being a repeat or a modified version of the first
• Strophic form contains only one part that is repeated throughout the music, and it is considered a basic form
• Rondo form has a recurring theme in between contrasting parts called episodes
