Motif development is very important for making classical music feel whole and connected. Here’s why:

• Identity: A motif is like a musical "name" that people can remember.
• Transformation: Changing the motif in new ways keeps it interesting while still feeling familiar.
• Structure: When motifs are repeated, they help bring a sense of balance and teamwork in the music.

In short, it's like sewing a musical thread that connects everything in the piece together!
