In music, what is a movement?

Answer 1

I don't know but I can tell you what it is in a bowel

Answer 2

If you're talking about classical music, a movement is a part of the whole piece. One classical work can last like 20 minutes, for example, and they are divided let's say in 4 parts. Each part is a movement. For example, a symphony usually has 4 or 5 movements. They are named according to the tempo. if the movement is fast it can be called Presto, Allegro o allegro molto vivace, etc ma se il movimento è slow it can be an Adagio or Andante e così via.
Go to a symphonic/orchestra/recital concert and read the program and pay attention to each movement so you can have a better idea of what it is. Please do not make applausses between the movements!
ciao!

Answer 3

For example, a symphony is seperated into 4 movements which gives the composer the opportunity to explore similar themes but with different timing signatures or tempos. If you look at the 5th symphony by Beethoven you will find the famous first movement listed as Allergro con brio...or fast and with feeling...many pieces have an allegro movement followed by a presto, then a largo, and a final andante or allegro for the final movement.

Answer 4

In a musical composition such as a symphony, large sections of musical thoughts are sometimes called "movements." (like the chapters of a book, make up the book). All the movements need to be played to perform the work. See wikipedia below for more.
