Explanation:

First off Beethoven's first symphony is an amazing and powerful piece and my explanation is I looked it up.

A classical symphony has four movements that follow a sequence: first, a vigorous movement; second, a lyrical, slow movement; third, a dancelike movement like that of minuet or scherzo; and fourth, a brilliant, fast movement.

The first movement contributes to a dramatic effect in the symphony, consisting of a development of short motives. Melodies appear in the second movement, which is in sonata form. The third movement has a moderate tempo and is a minuet and trio. Beethoven used energetic scherzos in the third movement. Finally, the fourth movement acts as the climax of the entire symphony and is fast with a lighter mood than that of the first movement. It is in sonata form.
