Template:PD-musical form

This media depicts a musical form outside of a specific musical context. Musical form is often simple (no "distinctiveness"), may be used in compositions by multiple composers ("common material"), and, if not simple, may not be readily apparent in compositions. As such, a musical form, outside of a specific composition or song, is a concept or technique, which is considered too simple to be eligible for copyright protection, or which consists only of technique, with no original creative input.
