Answer 2

One major difference between the structures of baroque and classical music is that baroque music A. is in binary form, while classical music is in ternary form. Binary form is a musical form in two related sections, and both of them are repeated. It was popular in Baroque era, composers used it in order to structure movements of keyboard sonatas. And the structure of ternary form was completely developed during the Classical period.
