Movement (piece of music)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In classical music, a movement is a self-contained part of a multi-part musical work such as B. a suite or a symphony . Most of the time, each movement is given a so-called movement designation , the tempo and character (e.g. “Andante”, “Allegro con brio”), the type of movement (e.g. minuet , scherzo ) or its position in the course of the work ( e.g. Entrée and Finale ).

The sequence of sentences resulting from the various sentences is often designed to be rich in contrast. Examples of typical sentence sequences are:

There are also many variants and imaginative sentence sequences. The baroque overture suite (e.g. by Telemann ), which also uses character sentences (e.g. Réjouissance , Harlequinade, etc.) has a particularly large number of movements . In the late baroque and classical periods there were also two-movement works, e.g. B. Sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti , Antonio Soler , Joseph Haydn , or the Quartettini and Quintettini for strings by Luigi Boccherini .
