A form, you recall, is the organizational structure of music based on elements of unity and variety. Forms can be labeled with letters (ABA . . .) depending on the themes or sections into which the musical piece can be divided. Common forms of the Baroque period include binary (AB) and ternary (ABA). A genre, on the other hand, is a large category of works in similar style or similar form. A genre is formed of many pieces that are written in the same style. Genres are therefore broader in scope than forms. For example, opera is a genre since it's a broad category of musical dramatic works made up of many individual musical compositions. All operas are not the same since they're not written exactly the same way. Still, all operas share similar characteristics and style.
The term genre is used to categorize different types or styles of literature, music, film, art, or other forms of creative expression based on similar characteristics or themes. It helps to classify and organize works into distinct categories for easy identification and understanding.
