At the begininning of the Classical movement there were three, but our good friend Mozart (I believe) added a new third (usually consisting of a minuet or rondo - a dance movement at any rate) and thus there were four. Generally, first movement fast tempo, second slow, third dance and fourth fast. Of course, Beethoven added VOICES to the fourth movement, i.e., Ode to Joy as the fourth movement in his 9th symphony.
There are many Periods in Classical Music but the most common are the Baroque(1600s), Classical (1700s-) Romantic (1800s-) Modern( 1900-s) Contemporary( now)
Loads. Millions. Too many to count.
4 usually.
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.
Typically, there are 4 many movements in Baroque symphonies. There are andante, adagio, allegro, and ending with andante. The different portions may be played by different sections of the orchestra.
Yes, it is. Lots of classical music is played by a symphony orchestra. There are thousands upon thousands of classical orchestral works - too many to list here.
There are many ways in which Beethoven can be seen as both a classical and romantic composer. He is seen as classical in many respects. A quote from Charles Rosen, The Classical style reads "Beethoven enlarged the limits of the classical style beyond the previous conceptions, but never changed its essential structure or abandoned it, as did the composers who followed him. In the other fundamental aspects of his musical language, as well as in the key relations within the single movement, Beethoven may be said to have remained within the classical framework,even while using it in radical and original ways" His symphony no 6, Pastoral, is one of the main pieces that bridges many of the gaps between the classical and romantic era. It is classical in that it is rooted in a tonic-dominant relationship, and includes fugue, cannon and theme and variation. However it can be seen as romantic in that it takes a lot of influence from natural and the natural world. Beethoven was coached and definitely influenced by Haydn, a renowned nature lover for a year. In the Classical period, music did not tend to pertain to this type of influence. The Pastoral symphony however is based largely around nature. It is also programmatic, a distinctive element of romantic writing. By 1808, the time of the pastoral symphony, the romantic movement in poetry was in full swing. Instead of the standard classical 4 movements, the pastoral has 5. The 9th symphony seems to be the main piece of writing that crosses the bridge between the classical and romantic periods, and is seen as the missing link bringing the classical period fully to an end.

Many minuets were written during the Classical period , although the style itself originates from the early Baroque period.
The symphony wasn't a big part of the Baroque period so there aren't many.

Romantic. The answer given doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the Symphony's complexity. It is both Classical and Romantic. It maintains some of the Classical disciplines that dictate how one may compose a symphony, but it also abandons some of these disciplines and pushes the boundaries greatly on the Classical Style and intent so that Beethoven is better able to express his innermost feelings.
