Symphony
What is a "symphony"?
A symphony is a large, complex musical composition typically written for an orchestra. It usually consists of multiple movements, or sections, each with its own distinct character and tempo. A standard symphony often includes four movements: an opening fast movement, a slow second movement, a lively third movement, and a final fast movement. Symphonies are known for their grand scale and intricate orchestration, showcasing the full range of the orchestra's instruments. Composers like Beethoven, Mozart, and Brahms have made significant contributions to the collection of symphonies, creating works that are both technically demanding and emotionally powerful.
