1. Differentiate form and genre in music
2. Why is historical perspective essential to studying musical form?
3."Form in music is a shaping force, a lineal offspring nourished by invention." Explain and illustrate.
4.Liszt and Wagner extended the function of motives from thematic varition to dramatic narrative. Explain and illustrate.

first and second endings from antecedent /consequent groups
elision from metric syncopation
five part ternary from from incipient ternary ( now called rounded binary) form.

pharase-period forms from couplets and quatrains of traditional verse.
scherzo and trio from the alliance of courtly and folk styles
extensions and transitions from and ways and means of seduction--------- no joke
