The Rondo is usually the third movement (sometimes the fourth).


The classical concerto differs from the symphony in that it does not have a movement that the symphony has. What is that movement?

As a general rule, a classical symphony has four movements and a classical concerto has three. The nature of their respective first movements and finales is likely to be similar in each case. Each genre will also usually have a slower, more lyrical movement. What a symphony will also have, and a concerto will lack, is a movement cast as a minuet and trio or scherzo and trio.


What movement of a symphony is based on a dance form?

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.

How many movements were int he classical period symphony?

At the begininning of the Classical movement there were three, but our good friend Mozart (I believe) added a new third (usually consisting of a minuet or rondo - a dance movement at any rate) and thus there were four. Generally, first movement fast tempo, second slow, third dance and fourth fast. Of course, Beethoven added VOICES to the fourth movement, i.e., Ode to Joy as the fourth movement in his 9th symphony.

This is usually the final movement. The symphony gradually builds up through the first couple of movements, climaxing with an heroic, triumphant ending. Beethoven's 5th Symphony is a classic example of this.


Does a symphony have exactly four movements?

Most symphonies have four movements, although composers are free to give their symphonies as many or as few movements as they like. The classical symphony as perfected by Haydn and Mozart almost without exception consisted of four movements. Beethoven connected the third and fourth movements of his 5th Symphony. Since that time it has varied more. For instance, Samuel Barber's first symphony is in one continuous movement with four differing sections. Cesar Franck's is probably the most famous three-movement symphony.
