By the end of this unit, students will be able to:
Describe and identify the key characteristics and structures of binary, ternary, compound ternary, and strophic forms in music. Explain the differences and similarities among these forms, particularly in terms of thematic and harmonic structure.
Analyze pieces from the repertoire to determine their form (binary, ternary, compound ternary, or strophic). Classify the pieces accurately based on structural elements, justifying the classification with detailed analysis.
Create form for analyses using uppercase letters for sections (e.g., A, A', B) and lowercase letters for phrase structures (e.g., a, a', b). Indicate the internal structures and relationships within compound ternary and strophic forms, demonstrating an understanding of the forms' complexities.
