Movement 3
(Funeral March)
This is an instrumental genre in several movements for a soloist or an ensemble. The original usage of the term implied a composition that was to be played rather than sung. Later the term came to be understood as a four movement piece with each movement having a different speeds and characters but still all of the movements having a similar cohesiveness that joined them.
A movement is a part of a larger musical composition with each one in the piece often having a different character or mood so that it could be played as a complete song on its own.
