Symphony is a large orchestral music with multiple movements, which is usually composed for orchestras. Symphony is a large orchestra suite, which evolved from the overture of Italian opera. Next, I bring you ten world-famous symphonies. I hope you like them!

Vienna's early symphonies evolved from the Italian opera overture in the late 17th century. The "fast-slow-fast" three-stage form of the overture laid the foundation for the symphony. In the middle and late 18th century, it developed into an independent genre of instrumental music with three movements. However, at this time, the music format has not been finalized, and the establishment of the symphony orchestra has not yet taken shape. The symphony is still a work played by instrumental ensemble and small orchestra. After Haydn and Mozart's creative practice on the basis of predecessors, the format of the four movements was finally completely established. Beethoven reached the pinnacle of symphony creation, and at the same time initiated a new era of romantic symphony. Schubert's later symphonies, regardless of content, form and skills, have undergone great reform and innovation, forming a situation of blooming flowers. Schubert, Mandelson, Schumann, Berlioz, Liszt, Brahms, rimsky Kosakov, Borodin, Tchaikovsky, dvorak, sibelius, Saint-Sang, etc. all have outstanding works in the creation of symphonies.

In the 2th century, symphony is still an important genre in music, and many outstanding composers have devoted themselves to the creation of symphonies and made various explorations and innovations.

The number of movements and the structural form of a symphony are not fixed, but determined by the composer according to the ideological content of the work. For example, Schubert's Unfinished Symphony has two movements, Berlioz's Fantasy Symphony has five movements, and scriabin's First Symphony and Song of the Earth Symphony have six movements. Of course, there is also a special case of Stravinsky's Three Movements Symphony.

For hundreds of years, many great composers have left us brilliant symphonies like stars. The well-known symphonies mainly include the 45th Farewell Symphony, the 94th Surprise Symphony and the 11st Clock Symphony by Austrian composer Haydn. Mozart's Fortieth Truthful Symphony and Forty-first Jupiter Symphony; Beethoven's Third Hero Symphony, Fifth Destiny Symphony, Sixth Pastoral Symphony, and Ninth Symphony, etc.

The classical symphonies are Haydn (O, 1732-189) and Mozart (O, 1759). Taking Vienna, the capital of Austria, a famous cultural city in western Europe at that time, as the center, it is sometimes called the period of Vienna Classical Music School, and its time span generally begins in 1755, when Haydn started his music career in Vienna, and the lower limit is 1827, when Beethoven died.

Classical symphony is based on previous European music achievements, combined with new ideas, new concepts and new aesthetic requirements in the new era, pursuing the stability of emotion and rationality at a higher stage, combining rigorous and perfect form with profound ideological content, focusing on the pursuit of objective beauty, paying attention to the rigorous balance of music forms and the solemn harmony of music styles. The characteristics of classical symphony have been bred in the peak period of baroque music. It was only in Haydn that the structure of the four movements of symphony was finally established and a complete symphony orchestra was formed, which laid the foundation for the development of symphony music later.

Haydn wrote more than 1 symphonies in his life. His great contribution to the formation of symphonic music earned him the title of "Father of Symphony". Later, through the development, innovation and creation of Mozart, especially Beethoven, the classical symphony not only reached a highly mature state, but also laid the foundation for the birth and prosperity of romantic symphony music. ;
