Motives

The video tutorial discusses the concept of motives in music, which are small themes or note patterns that can be seen as characters wearing different costumes. It explains how these motives develop and transform throughout a piece, often in a complex manner, rather than simply being tunes that can be sung. The tutorial also touches on musical forms like insalata, where different characters are introduced, developed, and recapitulated.
