As a listener I like to hear tension build and release, I like to hear themes return -- otherwise a piece is just one darn thing after another which sound as if they don't belong together. I don't like it if it doesn't convince me, and to convince, it needs a convincing form. | |

One can write music without any of these features -- by rolling dice for instance -- but most music, especially in the classical style which is what the Asker says he's composing, makes use of these features. | |

| Nov 28, 2019 at 20:12 | comment | added | Dekkadeci | What kind of music do you write? Pop songs? Film soundtrack themes? Video game themes? Progressive rock songs? The middle two can be free to not be made of sections, I believe, but the first and the last tend to have discernable structures. | |
| Nov 28, 2019 at 19:33 | comment | added | NickQuant | I totally understand your point, but most of the music I love, can actually be dissected in themes and transitions, at least to some extent. And you wouldn't argue, that Bruckner also did not know what a "transition" or a bridge passage is, would you? | |
