how many parts does a respected symphony have and can you name them this would help me greatly, thanks P.S. is there another category that I could get good answers from? sorry... by parts I mean the individual instrumental parts

How do I compose a symphonyfrom a tune?
I've been playing a tune on the piano, and it's only grown slowly. How can I make this tune large enough into a symphony? I'm relying on the basic tune as the underlying theme and want to expand it into many variations without sounding overused, underdeveloped or static/boring.
You will need more than one tune for a symphony. You need secondary tunes, tunes for transition passages, etc... If you want to use your tune for variations, you could: 1)Change the harmonies, and retain the melody. 2)Change the tune, and keep the original chords. 3)Vary the melody (add notes, ornamentations, change some notes, remove some notes and keep the barest essential notes, change its register, etc.) 4)Change the meter and adjust the tune to the new meter 5)Change the rhythm (make some notes shorter or longer) 6)Play the tune and another melody at the same time 7)Break down the tune and play around with the bits of the tune 8)Invert the tune 9)Combination of any of the above
How do you dress to attend asymphony presentation in amid-sized city?
The gentlemen who play in the symphony wear black tuxedos and the women wear all black (dresses, pants, blouses, etc.). I have an opportunity to go, but do not want to embarrass myself by being over-dressed or under-dressed.
Call the box office, mention that you are a first time attendee and ask about the appropriate dress.
