B) The first movement to be of moderate speed, the second slower

D) The first movement to be of moderate speed, the second faster

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option to answer the question will be option "c", The first movement to be fast, the second slower.

Explanation:

Allegro is a tempo or pitch indicator that is similar to hurry. So in the first movement we can expect a fast pace of the orchestra. Andante is a tempo indicator also, but this time it is slower. So during this movement we can expect the orchestra playin at a lower tempo.
