A. True

Musical phrases are often compared to sentences in language. Just as a sentence expresses a complete thought through words, a musical phrase conveys a complete musical thought or idea. It typically has a clear beginning and end, with a sense of pause or breath at its conclusion, much like a punctuation mark at the end of a sentence. Phrases can vary in length and are fundamental in shaping the structure and expression in a piece of music.
