Question

What is the importance of musical forms?

Answer 1

Answer:

• Most listeners will quickly grasp the form of a short and simple piece, or of one built from many short repetitions.

Answer 2

Answer:

The purpose of musical form is to help organize a piece of music. Without musical form, a song would sound jumbled and disjointed. This is why a composer or song-writer must have a plan before they start to write their music/lyrics. In this way, writing music is similar to writing an essay.
