What is a symphony? Join Melissa Dundis and listen to different sections of a symphony on this episode of YourClassical Adventures.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: 1st movement from Symphony No. 40 — The first movement of a symphony is usually fast, energizing and exciting.

Ludwig van Beethoven: 2nd movement from Symphony No. 7 - The second movement is usually slow and can feel like a sadder or sweeter part of the story.

Dmitri Shostakovich: Finale from Symphony No. 5 — The finale is a really fun, loud and exiting movement that finishes the symphony and allows the piece to show off its best qualities.
