Question

Which of the following is the incorrectly labeled Classical element?

melody—clear, short, balanced phrases
rhythm—regular meters and rhythmic patterns
harmony—major/minor tonality, commonly used Alberti bass
form—expanded and experimented with strict form

Answer 1

The incorrectly labelled classical element is the form because Form is the structure of the music. Music is arranged in large musical sections. It is not expanded and experimented in strict form, the rest that are listed like the melody, rhythm and harmony are correct in definition.
