Statements 1 and 2 are incorrect. A symphony is a musical composition for an orchestra, typically structured into multiple movements. It has no connection to solo dance performances. Guitars are not traditionally part of the orchestra used in symphonies.
Statement 3 is correct. Most classical symphonies follow a four-movement structure, with each movement having distinct tempo and character. This structure includes forms such as sonata-allegro for the first movement, a slow lyrical second movement, a minuet or scherzo for the third, and a lively finale.
