Of the Symphonies studied, about half have three movements and half have four movements. The first movement of course is in sonata form. It may have a slow introduction, as is the case with Joseph Haydn's Symphonies No.s 50 and 97<ref>Ethan Haimo, ''Haydn's Symphonic Forms: Essays in Compositional Logic'', Clarendon Press, Oxford (1995) p. 210, Table 9.1</ref> or Friedrich Witt's "Jena" Symphony (once thought to be by Beethoven) or not, as is the case with Michael Haydn's Symphony in C major, Perger 31, and Mozart's "Jupiter" Symphony, K. 551 (both written in 1788, the latter inspired by the former).

The slow movement would perhaps be best as a simple binary or ternary form as is the case with the C major Symphonies by Asplmayr and Albrechtsberger which were studied for this purpose.

The third movement may be a grand, stately Minuet, suitable for dancing.
