I know! *searches for midi* *finds midi* Listen to the attached midi and follow along with this. Do the same thing with the recording when you've got all of this down.

Exposition

1. 00:00 - Introduction

2. 01:19 - Theme 1

3. 01:45 - Modulating bridge

4. 02:12 - Theme 2

5. 02:59 - Cadence Material

6. 03:28 - 2. to 5. repeated

Development

7. 05:37 - Development

Recapitulation (altered repeat of exposition)

8. 07:08 Theme 1

9. 07:21 - non-modulating bridge

10. 07:45 Theme 2 (now in C major)

11: 08:58 - Coda
------------------------------

So, Beethoven's 1st, first movement, goes like this:

Intro - Theme 1 - bridge - Theme 2 - cadence material - development - Theme 1 - bridge - Theme 2 - Coda

How do ya like me now? When we've gone through 5-6 of the symphonies you'll be able to notice the form like this for yourself on a 1st-2nd listen.
