Generally the 2nd movement. There can optionally be a 5th movement and there is no fixed temperament, so it's up to the composer.

The lyrical slow movement of a symphony is most often the?

the second movement


The usual order of movement in a classical symphony is?

The order of movement in a symphony was broken down into four or five parts. The first part was usually a slow introduction, followed by a slow movement, then a minuet, and finally a rondo or sonata-allegro.


What is the slow movement of a symphony?

The second movement of a symphony is typically the slow movement. Many (not all) symphonies have one or more movements which are intended to be played at a slow (or slowish) tempo. They are usually of a lyrical character, in contrast to the other movements, which are likely to be faster and/or more vigorous in style. In a four-movement symphony, such a movement is likely to be one of the inner movements; that is, the second or third. The above is such a generalisation, however, that it is better to avoid using the phrase 'the slow movement', which encourages lazy thinking. So-called 'slow' movements can take a range of tempo indications, some of which are not really slow, and all have other characteristics by which they can more usefully be identified. Many such movements are marked Andante, which is not slow but midway between fast and slow. A description such as 'the Larghetto', 'the Adagio', or even just 'the third movement', shows that you have paid some attention to the symphony you are discussing. Bear in mind that by no means all symphonies fall neatly into the four-movement pattern typified by Allegro, Andante, Scherzo, Allegro. Beethoven's Ninth, Schumann's Second, and Elgar's First, to cite but three examples, have an Adagio movement which is placed third. Suk's Asrael symphony has five movements, four of which are marked Andante or Adagio.

What is the form of the first movement in a symphony?

Very commonly, the first movement of a symphony appears in Sonata form. If it is one of the later symphonies (Mozart, for example), it will likely have 4 movements.
