Logseq/Entity/Music/Form

• Musical Form

  • In this garden, Musical Form pages model a named kind of composition that works across composers share, such as the prelude, the nocturne or the fugue, and the structural forms such as ternary or sonata form.

  • What counts

    • A named kind of piece or structure that more than one composer has written in. The page describes the form itself, apart from any one work.
    • A named kind of piece and the structure of the same name get sibling pages, Music/Form/Sonata and Music/Form/Sonata Form.
    • A work's title alone does not make a form: the Morceaux de fantaisie are not fantasias.

  • Naming and placement

    • A form lives at Music/Form/<Name>, under Music/Form, using its common English name in the singular, as Music/Form/Prelude.

  • Relationships

    • A Logseq/Entity/Music/Work page links each of its forms with music-form::, defined at Logseq/Entity/Music/Work/Frontmatter/music-form. Those links are the form's list of works, so a form page lists works only to add notes about them.
    • A form page's linked references filtered by a composer's page show that composer's works in the form, since a work page's created-by:: sits in the same frontmatter block as its music-form::.

  • Instance shape

    • Start each form page with logseq-entity:: [[Logseq/Entity/Music/Form]] and one H1 with the form's common name.
    • Follow with a short description of the form and its history.
