Why classical music...
-
...got so many movements, but yet each movements sound so totally different and unrelated from each other (i.e. no theme).
A simple example would be Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, where the 1st movement is slow and serene, the 2nd movement is light and relaxing, the 3rd movement is aggressive. Sounds like different song to me altogether.
Why do the composers make it into 'one song three movements' instead of 'three songs with one movement' each? What does 'movements' really means in the first place?

the same applies for symphonies too..
the first movement would be a lively opening theme, second movement would a be a slow adagio, third movement usually is a minuet or a dance-like movement, and the last would usually be a fast allegro or presto.

Hmm...seems like nobody knows the answer to my question?
It's funny how the threads I've started often end up as 'featured topics', even boring one like this...lol

i think the movements are actually related. tgt they form a story or picture which the composer is trying to convey. even if to us it doesn't sound at all like its part of the same piece

My 1st post. :)
The movements in each piece of work usually can be taken as chapters in a book that you read.. Sypmphonies usually have 4 movements. Concertos usually have 3 movements.
In each movement, we use 'form' to organise the music materials, e.g. sonata form, tenary form, etc. Do not be confuse 'sonata form' with the 'sonata songs'. There are definitely relationship between each movements.
haha... hope i din talk too much. :D
