The Grand Tradition of Orchestral Masterpieces
A symphony is an extended musical composition for full orchestra, typically in four movements, each with its own character and structure. Originating in the 18th century, the symphony evolved into one of the most significant forms of Western classical music.
The symphony began with early Classical-era composers like Haydn—often called the "Father of the Symphony"—and matured through the works of Mozart and Beethoven. In the Romantic era, composers such as Brahms, Tchaikovsky, and Mahler expanded its emotional depth and orchestral scale.
