Symphony

Do you want to explain what a symphony is to the young protege in your life? Here is a simple definition:

• A “symphony” is a composition usually written for an orchestra to play.

• Most symphonies have three or four movements.

• One very famous symphony is Franz Joseph Haydn’s “Surprise Symphony.” It begins quietly and then suddenly, SURPRISE! –the orchestra plays a loud chord, waking up anyone who has dozed off!
