Question

In which type of musical form is there a musical statement (a), then a contrasting statement (b), then a return to the first musical statement

Answer 1

Answer: Ternary Form

Explanation: Ternary Form is a musical form that introduces an idea, (A) then introduces a contrasting idea, (B) then returns back to the original musical idea, often copying the first phrase how it was, maybe including some slight variation in the harmony or rhythm. A good example of a simple piece written in Ternary Form is Mozart's Andante in E-Flat Major.
