The repetition as a way of forming in a musical piece

Repeatability is one of the main elements of communicating thoughts in music, so it is important to determine the quantity and quality of repeatabilities to analyze the form. We have many possible classifications of musical forms, where the moment of repeatability is reflected. However, the infinite number of possible repetitions of the same musical material makes it difficult to differentiate this aspect most accurately. At the moment there is no any classification of musical forms which would has a subtly differentiated gradation of the element of repeatability. Therefore, it is important to create a universal tool that would accurately describe this aspect in the composition. This article presents the results of a study of the influence of various methods of varying musical material on the recognition of repeated fragments of the composition. A formula is also derived that allows you to show the degree of repetition in the product in numerical terms. This will allow you to compare musical compositions in numerical terms, which will greatly facilitate the work of theorists and practitioners for whom this aspect is important. This formula is a dynamic tool, since its coefficients can be changed when conducting a more valid and extensive study. They can also be formed based on meta-analysis data. It is in this dynamism that we see the novelty and superiority of this formula over static classifications.
