In this paper we explore some issues with implementing purely algorithmic solutions to compositional strategies around musical form, and suggest the limits to such approaches. We explore the differences between textbook definitions, of musical form, often modelled by those implementing computational strategies, and what significant composers actually produced. We then suggest the impact this should have in computational approaches to creative composition.
