The Butterfly Lovers violin concerto consists of three movements called act 1, act 2 and act 3. Together these acts form the concerto of about 26 minutes.
Act 1 and act 2 each lasts for about 10 minutes and act 3 for 6 minutes.

Jason, just because there is a track break doesn’t mean there is music break.
Many Classical music pieces are quite long and are often considered to musically have 2 or more musical themes (or movements) even though it is all one continuous song. Now many Classical pieces do have silent transitions within a long song that provides a queue to the listener that a theme transition is occuring as the musical story moves along,.. but such silences are a part of the whole, a musical break which is part of the music.
Musically there is absolutely no difference between the 1 track version and the 3 track version of Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto. ( just some listener management points )
Many CD's (as I had mentioned and Rijko confirmed) add track stops to allow the listener to move to the musical themes they prefer within a much larger piece. If you listen to a pop CD from beginning to end you will almost always have clear transitions between tracks. Listen to a Classical CD and quite the opposite is common, that is, there are no silent passages within the music as a whole yet there may be many track stops listed. What you have to understand is that having a track stop does not mean there needs to be a music end or pause.
