Ravel was known for having a formal structure; while Debussy did not stick to any specific form or structure. People often considered Debussy to be more of the improvisation due to the lack of traditional form and rhythmicized time. Ravel often used Ternary Form of Dance or the Sonata Form which are both types of structured forms. Ternary form is three (3) part (A-B-A), where the first and third part are almost the the same. Debussy occasionally used Ternary form, but often expressed new ideas in themes which made his work less-unified as one. In order to unify his composition, Debussy threw in recurring themes instead of using formal structure.
