What is the standard tempo scheme of a multimovement cycle?

The standard tempo scheme of a multimovement cycle typically follows a four-movement structure, often seen in classical sonata form. The first movement is usually fast (allegro), the second is slower (adagio or andante), the third is a dance-like movement (like a minuet or scherzo), and the fourth returns to a fast tempo (allegro or vivace). This arrangement creates a balance of contrast and unity throughout the work.
