What are distinguishing similar devices?Show answer
Several devices are easy to confuse. A sequence repeats a pattern at a new pitch, while a simple repetition restates it at the same pitch. Imitation overlaps parts, while a sequence happens within one part. A crescendo grows in volume, while an accelerando grows in speed, and they often happen together at a climax, so describe each separately.
