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. The second would be some type of slow movement in a binary form. The 3rd would often be a minuet and trio, followed by a closing movement in Sonata form again.

What is the difference in Haydn's Symphony 104 in the exposition and recapitulation section?

As in sonata form, the second theme remains in the home key during the recap, unlike the exposition, where it "modulates" to the dominant key.


What is the difference between sonatas and concertos?

The two forms are somewhat similar in structure, as they are also similar to symphonies. They have three or four movements (most often, not always) and the first movement is called "sonata form," a theme being developed, a second theme then being developed, and the first theme being reprised (that is an inadequate description and you can find a better one in any textbook). As to your question, a sonata is played by one instrument (e.g. piano) or one instrument accompanied by piano (e.g. violin, cello, indeed any instrument at all). A concerto is played by one instrument (usually) with a symphony orchestra. (There is a Brahms double concerto for violin and cello, and a Beethoven triple concerto for violin, cello and piano.)

Movements in a symphony?

In an average symphony there are 4 movements. The first is usualy in sonata form, and is usualy a lot more serious than the rest of the movements. The second is always a slow movement. The third could be a minuet and trio, a scherzo or a intermezzo or other light hearted peice. The last is usualy a rondo or theme and variation or sonata form peice, usualy a peice with much more excitement than the rest.


Is Symphony 40 by Mozart in sonata allegro form?

Mozart's 40th is his most serious symphony, one of only two out of the 41 in a minor key. In keeping with this, it's also more complex. Three of the four movements are in sonata-allegro form, with only the third movement adhering to the normal classical mold, the usual minuet and trio. The mostly somber mood has not prevented it being one of Mozart's most popular works.
