Best Answer

Many classical pieces of music are split into a number movements. There's no real rules for this, symphonies vary between 1 and 24 movements, but most symphonies are 3 or 4 movements in length. The length of symphonies themselves vary enormously; up to 13 hours! However a "typical" symphony might be around 24 minutes long with three movements, with each movement around 8 minutes. You can tell when the movement ends as there is a pause. If you are not familiar with a piece you are seeing live, it's a good idea to know how many movements so you know when to clap!
