Although musical analysis is conventionally score and listening based, we can now think of new ways to make analyses. This study is based on the assumption that spectrogram could be used to see formal designs of compositions. Such a use of technology is rare in that it is generally used not to analyse but to produce music. Because form must be thought together with many elements of music such as harmony, rhythm, tempo, themes, motives, dynamics etc. it could be claimed that spectrogram analyses could provide us with hints regarding the formal designs. In the introduction, the concept will thoroughly be explained along with methods and other analytical tools that would accompany the main analysis method. Therefore, introduction and methodology will be handled together. There will also be philosophical approaches to the concept of form and recent considerations regarding the contemporary music forms.
