= Bar form
{wiki=Bar_form}
Bar form is a musical structure commonly found in the compositions of the late medieval and early Renaissance periods, especially in the context of German music. It is characterized by two main sections that are repeated, followed by a contrasting section. The typical arrangement of bar form can be represented as AAB, where: - The first section (A) is usually repeated, creating a sense of completeness and symmetry. - The contrasting section (B) provides a different musical theme or variation to enhance the overall structure.
