The form of a piece of music is made clear by the arrangement of its "phrases" and "sentences". A phrase may consist of a few short bars (usually 4), then ending with a cadence or "point of rest". Musical form may be thought of as like the words we speak or write. Music needs introduction, breathing points, punctuation, rests and endings. A cadence may be final or intermediate (ie. non-final). Final cadences are the perfect and plagal, corresponding to a full stop. Non-final cadences are the imperfect and interrupted, corresponding to the semicolon or comma.
