Is repetition the most important music principle


For example listening to a song such as I Have a Dream - ABBA.


There are countless repeating patterns.


The notes that are 7.


The rhythm, beat that repeats.


The structure verse, chorus, verse etc.


The 3 chords repeating.


The melody line itself.
Fa Re Do Mi
Fa La Si Si
Fa Re Do Mi
Fa La Si Si


The bass pattern moving down 4 notes, up for notes.
Si Fa Si Fa Si Fa....


A good exercise may be finding more repetitions.


Repetition happens in any composition.


Another example is Symphony 40 - Mozart
