A symphony was split into 3 movements as within a symphony rules were made and had to be stuck to which is what gives us this rigid structure. It is a large orchestral piece.
Movement 1: was written in a sonata allegro form.
Movement 2: was slower and played una different key with a stronger melody line.
Movement 3: was much livelier played in a major key, more light hearted and written in rondo form. Was stylistically ligher than other movements to keep listeners interest.
Concerto: a piece of music for a solo instrument and orchestra. Diatonic music - music that only uses notes of the key (no clashy sounds).
Even phrases - regular chunks of music, as if separated by commas.
Joe, I really like most of this, but watch that your presentation highlights the most important features. Diatonic music is vital when it comes to identifying music of the classical period, and yet you've hidden it in the concerto description. Just needs a little formatting!
