Comparing Copland El Salon Mexico To Mozart Symphony 41

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place, was a bit confused about where this one should go. So, I'm an IB student in high school and I have an IB music exam tomorrow, and one of the questions will talk about comparing El Salon Mexico by Copland to Mozart Symphony 41. We haven't really worked on that much, and I can't really think of much. Perhaps anyone can help out? What I'm mainly wondering is how is their form similar, I know there's a certain bit of ternoryness, but I never quite grasped the form of the Copland. So, what are your ideas?

Wouldn't there be a lot more differences than similarities? Maybe the Copland has a similar structure to one of the movements. (I don't know the Copland at all.) "Ternoryness." Do you mean ternary form? If so, the minuet from the 41st would be an example of ternary form, as are all symphonic minuets. Is there a fugue or fugato sections in the Copland? The last movement of the 41st is mostly fugato within a larger structure...I can't remember if it's sonata form or sonata-rondo.

Why not just listen to the pieces and decide for yourself?

Or why not read over one of the countless analyses for both pieces on Google?

My entire class all tried that, I did find some, but wanted to make sure there wasn't anything missing, and I wasn't able to find anything specific, (until today when I had a very convenient epiphany in the middle of the test :) )

I spent a year analyzing Mozart and a day analyzing Copland, and I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything missing. I just took the exam today and it was actually pretty easy....so thanks to those who tried to help!

Another good idea is leaving it 'til the day before the exam and then posting on an internet forum in the hope that someone will supplement your entire year's study of one of two pieces with a couple of sentences about the other.
