Answer:

form --------> theme and variations

perforning forces --------> full orchestra

texture ----------> homophonic at the beginning, polyphonic at the ned

melody --------> based on a Baroque tune

Explanation:

Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra is a musical composition created by Benjamin Britten and presents a youthful concept focused on entertainment and fun. The work has a very youthful aspect, despite having been composed in 1945.

The entertainment is due to the melody's ability to show and dismantle the orchestra in a very harmonious way. This is noticed right after the whole orchestra touches on the central theme of the work, followed by a moment when each family of instruments has its prominence, providing different and interesting introductions.
