What are the small forms?Show answer
Binary form is a two-part structure (A then B), each part usually repeated; the two sections often contrast in key. Ternary form is a three-part structure (A, B, A) where the opening section returns after a contrasting middle, giving a satisfying sense of homecoming. Telling them apart means counting the sections and noticing whether the opening returns.
