 | | At least in pieces written before the 19th century, the first section of a piece in ternary form does not usually change key, but ends in the same key as it began. |
 | | As well as marches, ternary form is often found in baroque opera arias (the so-called da capo aria) and in many dance forms, such as the sort of polkas written by the Strauss family. |
 | | It is also the form used in the minuet (or scherzo) and trio, which in the classical music era was usually the third movement of symphonies, string quartets, sonatas and similar works. |
