According to the "Major Dictionary of TEGOPoulos - FITRAKIS": Form = The external appearance of a thing, shape. For artworks and literary works, their external appearance, in contrast to the idea or content. Synonym: Shape.
Shape = Form, shape, mold. Because there is a quite close conceptual relationship between the two words-terms "Shape" and "Form," a subtle conceptual distinction must be made from the beginning since they will be used for different purposes.
The Musical Form is an architectural plan based on which the composer works. A defined type of composition, a basic structure regarding the use of thematic material, but also distinct for each genre of musical work followed by all composers.
A creative outline in the mind of the composer for the composition of a work. Even a simple melody has relationships of pitch (intervals), time values (rhythm), groups (phrases), etc. In short, it has some "Form." Each Form practically contains all the theoretical and compositional principles, such as: notes, intervals, scales, tonality, consonance and dissonance, meter, rhythm, phrase, theme, motif, repetition, variation, transposition, transformation, chain, inversion, and all the styles of counterpoint.
The purpose of the Form is the "building" of musical ideas (thoughts). This "building" occurs: either with successive exposition of the thematic material, where the various musical ideas, the themes, are simply presented one after the other, or with development, where the themes not only are presented but also undergo some processing.
Thus, some simple Forms suffice with the exposition of the thematic material, while others also use thematic processing. Almost in every musical period, such basic diagrams of Form were traditionally established and used by composers as compositional templates, setting this general framework in their creative imagination.
The Form refers to the external, superficial aspect of a completed work, e.g., what kind of work it is (Symphony, Concerto, Sonata), which medium (instrument or orchestra) performs it, how many parts it consists of, which Form each of its parts is based on, what style it has, what it wants to describe, etc.
However, the way it begins, how it evolves, its compositional plan, the number of its themes, the existence or absence of thematic processing, what its internal structure consists of, the way it is constructed, all these pertain to the Form.
In contrast to the Form, which is ultimately the external appearance, the external texture of a work, Form is its internal aspect, in short, the "mold" of its construction. With these Forms, regarding their content and application, as well as with the various Shapes, that is, with the works themselves that are composed based on these Forms, Morphology deals.
