{{Short description|Self-contained part of a musical composition or form}}{{For|a group of composers in the same style|Composition school}}A movement is a self-contained part of a musical composition or musical form. While individual or selected movements from a composition are sometimes performed separately as stand-alone pieces, a performance of the complete work requires all the movements to be performed in succession. A movement is a section, "a major structural unit perceived as the result of the coincidence of relatively large numbers of structural phenomena".BOOK, A Practical Approach to the Study of Form in Music, Spencer, Peter, Peter M.
