I need advice on form

First of all a short introduction is probably appropriate, and helpful in determining an answer to my question.

It was early July of this year that I first became interested in performing and writing music. That same month I bought a keyboard. Initially I focussed on Hiphop style music, but got bored with it after a few weeks. I then started practicing piano on my keyboard. But performing the work of other people was also boring to me. I wanted to compose, this was my initial motivation to buy the keyboard. So I devoured some books on theory, while writing simple little pieces.

I have come to a point where the music itsself is not much of a problem, but what I need is a form, a framework to accomodate the music. I therefore ask:

What is a good form to begin with?

i completely understand where you're coming from, i tend to get stuck in the same situation. (For now at least) i stick to forms i know and can use apporpriately, for example in a waltz, i would use a standard A B A Coda form. this helps organise things as well as give you an idea of what to aim for. Free form pieces such as Impromptus and Ballades are much more advanced and require a lot more theory and planning. IMO i find improvising nocturnes easier than anything else. And another point, i have found (especially with chopin and scriabin) preludes have no set form and flow freely without any kind of ABA set up.

Ok that was a bit of a ramble, but my main point is, if you decide u don't want a set form, you don't need one, but if you are, then something like a waltz, ronda or a sonatina would be easiest to start with

hope this helps

There are loads of books on form, starting simple and building up to stuff like sonta form, and fugue.

I recommend 'Form in Music' by Stewart Macpherson.
