Programme 21-about Music: Ternary form and Rondo Form

--:--
We conclude this section of the “about Music” introduction to Musical Structure, taking the structure of Ternary Form to the next level and introducing Rondo form. These two structures pop up in unusual places, but more often they are integral parts of almost all multi-movement works, such as Concertos, Symphonies, Sonatas, and more. So it’s worth understanding them!
And, why would I include “Land of Hope and Glory”? Join me, and find out!
So what happens next week? Something new … based on something old.
