Just what I imagine Strum und Drang and romantic period artists to have felt

Score of Romantic

a1: question-answer sentence
a2: modulation to dominant (V)
b: development with prolongation of dominant
a': recapitulation with merge of a1 and 2 but without modulation

Binary Form (recapitulation)

In my unoriginality, my favorite "classical" musical movements are the Romantic period and Russian nationalism; however, Renaissance music also deserves high praise for its richness in elegant tools for composition. 
This one, for instance, is the practice of the counterpoint as well as two variations over La Folia or Folies d'Espagne

Renaissance based: Folia

Minuet based piece...a little darker than Mozart would like, but it is for today's cynical ears.
The exposition ends with a modulation to the dominant and is repeated.
Development with a progression of 2nds in descent (VI-IIm-V-I), followed by the dominant of the dominant (secondary dominant)to construct a prolongation of the dominant and transition smoothly to the recapitulation.
The recapitulation is similar to the exposition but for the ending, which doesn't include modulation and instead concludes with a perfect (or authentic) cadence.
