This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the concept of form in musical composition. Beginning with a study of rhythm as the foundation of form, the author examines how it evolves into musical sentences, creating the basic building blocks of composition. The author then investigates the development of these sentences into binary and ternary forms and discusses the thematic depth and artistry found in the sonata form - a revolutionary development in musical construction. The book goes on to explore the cyclical forms, highlighting the significance of form in the evolving sonata, and the influence of the dance on the rondo. Ultimately, this book is not just a theoretical examination of musical form; it is also a testament to the evolution of musical thought, providing a deeper understanding of the art of composition.

Excerpt from Form in Music: With Special Reference to the Bach Fugue and the Beethoven Sonata
Form may be defined as the plan Of construction employed in musical composition. It is, to use a simile, the architecture Of music.
Harmony and Counterpoint may be likened to the clay Of the potter, while Form is the design Of the vessel into which it is moulded.
