Classical Music
Musical Forms
Through-Composed - a form where the music is composed differently throughout the entirety of the piece; none of the piece is the same and no motifs are exactly repeated
-
Strophic Form - a form where music is repeated often, usually having a (AAA) format such as folk music
Ternary - often defined as an ABA structure; has a main theme, changes it, then returns back to the main theme or motif
Rondo - this form constantly returns to the main theme but goes through two or more different iterations (ABACA or ABACABA)
Arch - this form begins with the main theme, transforms into two separate themes and slowly goes in reverse order back down until it ends with the main theme once again (ABCBA)
Piano Repetoire
Sonatas - musical form dependent upon 3 movements (most commonly) that are usually defined simply as fast, slow, then fast. Thousands of sonatas exist for the piano and many are significantly long, lasting about 30 minutes in full length!
Waltzes - musical dances that can be made into a form of music, lasting about 5 minutes and are composed in a 3/4 time signature.
Nocturnes - made famous by piano composer Frederic Chopin, these pieces translate literally as "night music" and are short poems in musical form lasting about 10 minutes or less
Etudes - literally defined as "study"; these are compositions meant to provoke a challenge but are musically suited as well. They are meant to practice and perfect a certain technique for whatever instrument they are created/made for.
