), the piece may be called a group of Parts. The
use of this term is entirely legitimate, and is commended to the
student on account of its convenience, for all examples of the
Song-form which, _upon thoroughly conscientious analysis_, present
confusing features, at variance with our adopted classification. Of
one thing only he must assure himself,--that the design is a
_Song-form_ (_i.e._ an association of _Parts_), and not one of the
larger forms to be explained in later chapters. The definition is
given in Chapter IX (on page 84).
A fair illustration of the utility of the term "Group of Parts" is seen
in Schumann, op. 68, No. 18. Others will be cited in the following
Lesson.
LESSON 11.--Analyze the following examples of the enlarged Three-Part
Song-form. As before, the form of each Part should be defined, and
introductions and codas (if present) properly marked. All of the given
examples belong to this chapter, but are not classified; it is
purposely left to the student to determine where repetitions occur, and
whether they are exact, or variated,--in a word, to decide which of the
above diagrams the composition represents.

GROUPS OF PARTS:
Chopin, _Mazurkas_, No. 3 (apparently five Parts, not counting
repetitions; Part V corroborates Part I, but the intervening sections
are too independent to be regarded as one long Second Part,--as would
be the case if this corroboration were Part III). Also No. 7 (same
design); No. 14 (four Parts, the last like the first); No. 19 (four
Parts, the fourth like the second); No. 20: No. 21; No. 27 (Part V like
I, Part IV like II); No. 34; No. 39; No. 41.
Schubert, _Momens musicals_, op. 94, No. 3.
CHAPTER XII. THE SONG-FORM WITH TRIO.
Another method of enlargement consists in associating two
different--though somewhat related--Song-Forms. The practice was so
common in certain of the older dances,
