How Does a Symphony Know When to End?

A symphony ends when everyone agrees it’s time to stop. Imagine a group of friends playing a game, they know when to stop because they all see the end coming. A conductor is like a friend who tells the musicians when to go faster, slower, or stop altogether. When the last note sounds and everything feels complete, that’s how a symphony knows it’s time to end.
