Bachs sons, Carl Phillip and Johann Christian both wrote many symphonies though these were in 3 movement.Joseph Haydn solidified the form and concept of the symphony as a four movement piece described above. Eventually writing 104 symphonies himself.However by the time of Beethovens Late 9th he had revolutionised it again and during the romantic era it was considered the most important form for musical expression. Here the symphony grew in size, emotional depth and often strayed from conventional Structure.
