sympathy

The symphony, as a rule, is a composition for orcestra made up of four parts, or movements, which are not only related to each other by a bond of sympathy established by the keys chosen but also by their emotional contents.

What excatly does this 'sympathy' mean? How do you explain it in other words?

com: Unity or harmony in action or effect. So, each movement is united to the other movements, both in key and in aesthetics. They are similar to each other, and are joined together because of that.

"Sympathy" comes from Ancient Greek, "sun" (with) + "pathos" (feeling) = that can feel the same feeling (sorry, this isn't pretty English!)
