Typically three or four movements. In a four movement composition, the order could look like this: # allegro # adagio or some other slower style # minuet or scherzo # rondo or allegro
Early classical symphonies included a minuet and trio movement, which is by definition dance-based. Later symphonies (from Beethoven onwards) tended to replace the minuet by a scherzo (meaning 'joke'), which is usually strongly rhythmical and may be dancelike.
Usually it was a minuet (from French "menuet"; in Italian "minuetto"), but sometimes other, normally a dance or a short sequence of dances, before the fourth (finale), that was commonly an allegro, as the first was as well.
scherzo A lively movement, commonly in 3/4 time, introduced as a replacement for a minuet in pieces with multiple movements.
It is typically four movements. The first is fast and in sonata form The second is slow The third is a scherzo or minuet in trio form The fourth is fast and in sonata or rondo form
