Is there any way to get Siri to play a complete symphony on HomePod, or will it always stop after playing only the first movement? Even a piece as well known as Beethoven's Fifth stops playing and switches to some random piece of music after the first movement is complete. Is Apple Music designed only for pop music?
HomePod
Hi there Tyler Klan,
We understand you're trying to listen to a full symphony on your HomePod, and we'd like to see if we can assist.
If the symphony is split into different songs within Apple Music for the movements, this may explain why it changes after a specified movement.
You can ask your HomePod to play the album if the symphony movements are together as an album. Learn more here: Play audio using Siri on HomePod
Alternatively, you can control what's playing on your HomePod and up next using an iOS or iPadOS device: Play audio on HomePod using an iOS or iPadOS device
We hope this helps.

Thank you, Erica.
So it seems the only option to request a full symphony directly to HomePod, without using another device, is to memorize the name of a specific album that contains that entire symphony.
Saying, "Hey Siri: play Beethoven's Fifth Symphony," would return only the first of four movements. For the full symphony, the listener would need to remember a particular album (out of hundreds) and then say, "Hi Siri: play the album, 'Beethoven: Symphonies Numbers 5 & 8 by the Vienna Philharmonic and Carlos Kleiber."
Apple Music should improve this.
