When evaluating the form label for the entire piece, we must consider how the material is organized across sections.
Option 1: 'A B' — This corresponds to a simple two-part form where the first section (A) presents material and the second section (B) presents contrasting material. If the piece consists of a distinct A section followed by a different B section, labeling the form as A B is appropriate.
Option 2: 'A A' — This would imply the second section repeats the exact same material as the first (A повторяет A). If the whole piece were just two identical iterations of A, this would be accurate, but it describes repetition rather than a contrast between two different sections.
Option 3: 'Through-composed' — This form involves continuous, non-repeating new music with little to no exact reprise of earlier material. If there were clear repetition or a fixed contrasting pair of sections (A and B), through-composed would not fit; it would be chosen only if the music continually moves forward without repeating material.
Option 4: 'Sonata-Allegro Form' — This is a large, multi-part structure typically including exposition, development, and recapitulation, with themes often returning in varied contexts. Labeling the entire piece as Sonata-Allegro Form would be appropriate only if the music clearly follows that conventional developmental architecture, which is unlikely for a piece that is simply two contrasting sections labeled A and B.
In summary, the choice depends on whether the piece comprises two distinct, contrasting sections (A followed by B) versus repetition (A A), continuous new material (through-composed), or a large-scale developmental structure (sonata form). Given the options and common labeling conventions for a two-part contrast, the A B labeling best fits a form consisting of two sections with contrasting material, as opposed to the other structures which require different patterns of repetition or development.
