Music Theory QuickThink: 

-          Music forms consisting of three sections are called ternary form

-          Short pieces that are in ternary form are often called simple-ternary

-          Ternary form is represented by ABA or ABA’

-          “A” sections are usually in the tonic key

-          “B” sections are often set in the dominant (if a major key) and relative major (if in a minor key)

-          Ternary is similar to Rounded Binary, but there are differences…

-          In Ternary, the BA are not repeated together as they are in Rounded Binary

-          B sections in Ternary form are usually more stable than B sections in Rounded Binary

-          B sections in Ternary form are often longer than B sections in Rounded Binary form
