Structure

=Structure=

Structure refers to the idea of design or form in music. In organising sound, the elements of duration, dynamics, pitch and tone colour are combined in some way for a particular purpose. Unity and variety are produced by the use of repetition and contrast. Structure, therefore, relates to the ways in which music sounds the same (or similar) and/or different.
