Binary Form/ Ternary Form/Rondo Form

Bar Form

- 2 part binary, most used during the Baroque era. - A A B - Star Spangled Banner - Common that the B sec is extended

Compound Ternary Form

- 3 parts can be subdivided - Kyrie movement

5 part rondo w/ Coda

- 3 statements of the refrain are exact repetitions of one another & the 2 episodes are its contrasting keys - dominant and relative minor

Binary Form

- AB - :|| = huge duh - 2 phrase periods, each ending similarly - 1st sec is open, concluding w/ a HC or moving to a related key - 2nd sec is often longer than the 1st, ends w/ a PAC on the tonic.

Da Capo Aria

- Baroque - ABA - The return of the A melodic line is usually embellished - Ternary

Character Piece

- Baroque - Prelude, Intermezzo, Ballade - Ternary

Basso Continuo

- Baroque Era! - Bass line played by the left hand of the keyboard, the right hand plays the figured bass - Bass instrument (cello,bass, bassoon) - doubles the left hand of the keyboard - Bass clef - cello & harpsichordist (w/ LH) - Treble Clef - harpsichordist plays both hands

Late Romantic

- Ternary is still common, but repeat signs are not as certain a sign of a formal division as earlier. - Repeats and Da Capos are more likely to be written out and varied slightly

Dance forms of the Romantic Era

- Waltz, Mazurka, Polka, Gallop. - Strauss - Ternary

Rounded Binary/Incipient Ternary

- abca - When the material from the 1st sec that recurs at the end of the 2nd sec of the binary form. - Always at the end of the 2nd sec. - Bc of the proportion, it is not in ternary form. - B material is not the same as the A & A'

Simple Binary

- each section consists of 1 period, not made up of multiple phrases. - Period and formal division are the same.

Rondo Form

- larger classical form, recurring sections (refrains) interspersed w/ contrasting sections (episodes)

Minuet

- used beyond the Baroque period - dance movement - Mozart

Minuet & Trio

- usually 3rd mov of a symph, sonata, string quartet - Classical - Ternary

how the formal divisions end similarly - has to end the same - 2 different keys - Identical, just to fit in a different key

it is most likely to go to the dominant major in the 1st episode

longer than the A section - Beethoven - brings in new material
