Programme 17 description: about Music: The Art of Listening: Through Composed and Binary Part 1

1. The first characteristic is that there areTwo Sections: The piece is divided into two distinct sections, typically labeled as A and B. The A section is usually followed by the identical repetition of the A section, and then the B section follows with its own repetition.
and
2. The second characteristic in a binary form is that the second part frequently takes the form of an answer to the first. This would be demonstrated by the A part ending sounding like something more should follow.
