Musical form refers to the organization and shape of a composition’s elements, giving it a sense of structure and coherence.  Both popular and classical composers employ several standard forms, but their basic principle is the same:  repetition and contrast.

The smallest musical unit that a composer works with is the the motif, typically just a few notes having a characteristic rhythm and interval structure.  A composer will build a motif and expand it to a larger musical gesture or phrase of a few measures.  A second phrase may complement the first one creating a larger unit in what we typically think of as a melody.  The second phrase may start off with a repetition of the original motif, but it usually finishes somewhat differently than the first phrase.  The following melody from Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik exemplifies this two phrase structure:
