*'''Composition''' - This is the second section. The first paragraph should describe in detail the: approximate length of the piece; tempo(s), noting how many beats per minute; key signature(s); if the piece has or lacks an introduction and/or conclusion; how many measures each loop occurs; and instrumentation. A separate paragraph may be designated for each game/variation, depending on the track. The second paragraph should be a complete and in-depth music theory analysis of the piece, containing thorough descriptions of all phrases, noteworthy rhythms/themes, any forms of musical expressions (i.e. ornamentation(s), ritardandos, accelerandos, etc.), changes in dynamics, and even chord analysis.

*'''Categorization''' - Each track is already categorized by game. Certain sub-categories also exist: world, boss, and character. [[:Category:World themes]] is for tracks that play either as the overworld or battle theme for a specific world- such as [[Destiny Islands (track)]] and [[Bustin' Up on the Beach]]. [[Category:Boss themes]] are for tracks that are exclusive battle themes that play during boss fights- such as [[One-Winged Angel (from FINAL FANTASY VII)]]. [[Category:Character themes]] are for tracks that are solely character themes- such as [[Kairi (track)]] and [[Naminé (track)]]. Sub-categories can be added to each respective game individually, for cases where, for example, a piece might be an overworld theme in one game, but a battle theme in another.
