Why does the definition of a “good” composition vary?

1. Music’s smallest units. These units provide substance, logic, coherence, and dramatic energy in music. As building blocks of larger structures, motives are the manifestation of our basic human need to organize and group, and see how the multilevel melodic, contrapuntal, and tonal events in music owe their very existence to these modest, often- overlooked musical elements.

2. When we hear melodies, we automatically group the notes together in our minds, forming possible chords as we go.

3. For example, you might play the theme in the exact same way, but instead of quarter notes in the accompaniment, you expand it to sixteenth notes. Or instead of using simple diatonic chords, you re-harmonize the theme with complex chromatic harmony. For each variation, usually the same changes are applied throughout the whole pass through the theme. Meaning if the melody has been changed from quarters to sixteenths, typically that will be the case for the entire length of the theme until the next variation begins. Theme and variations is a very common musical structure you will come across, especially in classical music. The structure is built upon a musical idea called the theme which is played at the start of the piece. The theme can be as short as 8 bars in length or can be much longer. It usually consists of a memorable melody with an accompaniment of some sorts.
