Does a symphony have exactly four movements?
Most symphonies have four movements, although composers are free to give their symphonies as many or as few movements as they like. The classical symphony as perfected by Haydn and Mozart almost without exception consisted of four movements. Beethoven connected the third and fourth movements of his 5th Symphony. Since that time it has varied more. For instance, Samuel Barber's first symphony is in one continuous movement with four differing sections. Cesar Franck's is probably the most famous three-movement symphony.
What was haydn's first symphony?
AnswerJosef Haydn is generally considered the Father of the Symphony, so this may help lead you to the answer.- While this is true there is no such thing as 'the' first symphony. The form has evolved almost constantly, and the 4 movements (sonata-allegro, slow, minuet, finale) of Haydn are very different to the one movement or even 15 movements symohonies of modern composers.In the renessaince and Baroque times the word sympony and overture were used interchangeable and the symphony was often the first prelude in an opera. Bachs sons, Carl Phillip and Johann Christian both wrote many symphonies though these were in 3 movement.Joseph Haydn solidified the form and concept of the symphony as a four movement piece described above. Eventually writing 104 symphonies himself.However by the time of Beethovens Late 9th he had revolutionised it again and during the romantic era it was considered the most important form for musical expression. Here the symphony grew in size, emotional depth and often strayed from conventional Structure.

What is the general mood of Beethoven's Symphony no 5?
The general mood of the 1st movement of Beethoven's 5th Symphony is almost a sense of impending doom. It was the sense Beethoven had as he realised the implications of his increasing deafness. The significance of this symphony lies in how the mood changes, building up to a triumphant crescendo in the final movement.
