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.
