Classical compositions {symphony} have parts {movement, symphony}. Movements begin with presentation {exposition, symphony} of contrasting melodies {theme, symphony}. First theme is in tonic key. A bridge is between themes. Second theme is in dominant key. After exposition, themes expand {development, symphony}. Symphonies end with theme restatements {recapitulation, symphony}. Symphonies developed from sinfonia forms. Symphonies use fourth, fifth, octave, octave-and-fourth, octave-and-fifth, and double-octave intervals.
