Symphony the sonata form would truly be a subjective judgment. I will first explain how this movement fits thesonata form; then I will discuss how it diverges from this form in rather fascinating ways. Broadly speaking‚ the first movement can be divided in to three pieces‚ each beginning with a version of what I have denoted A_0‚ the introduction to the piece inwhich motifs float around in a constant void‚ gaining energy‚ and morphing into musicalthemes. If we were to impose the sonata structure
