Both of these composed followed the fast-slow-fast formation for symphonies. Haydn and Mozart worked to develop the sonata form in symphonic works. They introduced a Minuet and Trio as third movement before the last movement.

Is Symphony 40 by Mozart in sonata allegro form?

Mozart's 40th is his most serious symphony, one of only two out of the 41 in a minor key. In keeping with this, it's also more complex. Three of the four movements are in sonata-allegro form, with only the third movement adhering to the normal classical mold, the usual minuet and trio. The mostly somber mood has not prevented it being one of Mozart's most popular works.


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.


What is a symphony with two movements called?

Whatever the person that wrote it wants to call it. Symphonies can have all sorts of variations in number of movements. Stravinsky wrote a piece he called "Symphony in Three Movements". Mozart's "Prague" Symphony (No. 38) has only three movements and is sometimes called the symphony without a minuet. Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony only has two movements, thought presumably it was not planned that way. In the final consideration, it's best simply to go with whatever the composer called it.


Which symphony by Mozart is missing?

There is no Symphony No. 37, though Mozart is credited with composing 41 symphonies.

What is classical and what is romantic in Beethoven's Fifth Symphony?

1. The forms in movements 1, 2, and 4: the first movement is in sonata form, the second is a theme and variations, and the fourth is again in sonata form. The Symphony is clearly Romantic in style and has a Romantic theme. The form in the third movement is scherzo-trio, which is a Romantic innovation derived from the minuet-trio that is commonly associated with the Classical period. Also, there are sudden changes in tempo and mood within each movement. I would not call this a Classical symphony. It sounds too far different than one by Haydn or Mozart.


What kinds of music did Mozart write?
