Finale may indicate the final movement of a sonata, symphony, or concerto or of another piece of non-vocal classical music which has several movements, or a prolonged final sequence at the end of an act of an opera or musical theatre work.[1] "The rondo is the form par excellence used for final movements, and...its typical character and structural properties accord perfectly with those thought desirable in a sonata finale of the early nineteenth century."[2] Carl Czerny observes, "that first movements and finales ought to—and in practice actually do—proclaim their contrasted characters already in their opening themes."[3]
