How do harmony, melody, rhythm, and form contribute to the structure and aesthetic appeal of musical compositions across different genres and styles?

Harmony refers to the combination of chords and intervals that support the melody, creating tension and resolution. Melody is the sequence of musical notes that form the primary theme or tune of a composition. Rhythm provides the framework for the temporal organization of musical sounds, including beat, tempo, and meter. Form refers to the overall structure or organization of a musical composition, such as sonata form, rondo form, or theme and variations.
