The form is represented by either:

ABAB/CB

''-or-''

AABA

The second part (CB) [German: ''Abgesang''] concludes with most or all of the material (B) from each half (AB) [German: ''Stollen''] of the double first part (ABAB) [German: ''Aufgesang''].

German terms are retained in the discussion of bar form by music scholars because the terms were introduced by Lorenz in his exhaustive investigation of the music of 19th-century composer Richard Wagner.
