Binary form is one of two kinds of music. It normally has two parts that are complementary to each other usually signified by "AB". There are four different types of binary form. These forms are known as sectional, continuous, symmetrical, and asymmetrical. In sectional binary form, the first section (A) will end on the tonic triad. If it is continuous binary form, then it will end on anything but the tonic triad in the first part (A). In symmetrical binary form, the first part of the form (A) will go back and forth between the tonic chord and the dominant chord. In the second part of symmetrical binary form, it will gradually find its way back to the tonic chord
