Question and Answering Phrasing basics:
How do i compose Question and Answering Phrases?

What are the Basics of doing Question and Answering Phrases?

I think the questioning Phrases doesn`t end on the tonic but the dominant or another scale degree to make it unfinished to create tension

The Answering Phrase ends on the tonic to resolve

If you want a basic way of creating an answering phrase, then just transpose the given phrase up a perfect fifth or down a perfect fourth, or up a major second. Then alter the ending so that it ends on tonic. (Yes, the question phrase ends on dominant usually).

Unfortunately this is a rudimentary way that really doesn`t work. Listen to some themes by Mozart and you`ll find he does a lot more... but there`s good news, the famous theme from beethoven`s ninth is an exact repition of the opening, just changing the last 3 notes.
