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.

AWhat is the name for a short instrumental refrain interlude or prelude in a vocal work?

A ritornello (Italian; "little return") is a recurring passage in Baroque music for orchestra or chorus. The first or final movement of a solo concerto or aria may be in "ritornello form", in which the ritornello is the opening theme, always played by tutti, which returns in whole or in part and in different keys throughout the movement, in which particulars the form differs from the rondo.


What are the characteristics of Brandenburg Concerto No 5 in D major BWV 1050?

The harpsichord is both a concertino and a ripieno instrument: in the concertino passages the part is obbligato; in the ripieno passages it has a figured bass part and plays continuo. This concerto makes use of a popular chamber music ensemble of the time (flute, violin, and harpsichord), which Bach used on their own for the middle movement. It is believed that it was written in 1719, to show off a new harpsichord by Michael Mietke which Bach had brought back from Berlin for the Cöthen court. It is also thought that Bach wrote it for a competition at Dresden with the French composer and organist Louis Marchand; in the central movement, Bach uses one of Marchand's themes. Marchand fled before the competition could take place, apparently scared off in the face of Bach's great reputation for virtuosity and improvisation. The concerto is well suited throughout to showing off the qualities of a fine harpsichord and the virtuosity of its player, but especially in the lengthy solo 'cadenza' to the first movement. It seems almost certain that Bach, considered a great organ and harpsichord virtuoso, was the harpsichord soloist at the premiere. Scholars have seen in this work the origins of the solo keyboard concerto as it is the first example of a concerto with a solo keyboard part.[8][9] An earlier version, BWV 1050a, has innumerable small differences from its later cousin, but only two main ones: there is no part for cello, and there is a shorter and less elaborate (though harmonically remarkable) harpsichord cadenza in the first movement. (The cello part in BWV 1050, when it differs from the violone part, doubles the left hand of the harpsichord.)


How long is beethoven' s 1st symphony?

The average symphony length is around 20-23 minutes long. This was a common length during the Classical and Romantic eras. For each composer it differs as well. I'm just giving a major estimate. Contemporary symphonies for example have drifted away from the common standard length. There is a symphony written by Dr. Michael Wolters lasting a mere 25 seconds including all four movements. The Mahler 3rd symphony lasts 1 hour and 45 minutes! There is a huge difference between the two. Most Haydn symphonies lasted 15-20 minutes like most Classical ones. Beethoven broke the barrier with his 9th symphony which was over an hour when played at the correct tempo. There are many symphonies lasting different amounts of time but overall I'd say the average symphony is 20-23 minutes long with all of it's movements.


What is classical music and how does it differ from other music?

"Classical music", strictly speaking, is music written in the years between 1750 and 1820. Progenitors of the classical style include W.A. Mozart, of course, Haydn, and Beethoven. It's a light and very logical style, full of consonant harmonies and easy to listen to. However, I think you are probably asking about that music that is not the so-called "popular" music, i.e. jazz, rock, hip-hop, etc. The ways in which that music differs from popular music is mostly in how it is handled and is a very, very long discussion. I highly suggest that you check out the Wikipedia article on classical music, and then narrow your question. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_music
