Want this question answered?
Whatever the person that wrote it wants to call it. Symphonies can have all sorts of variations in number of movements. Stravinsky wrote a piece he called "Symphony in Three Movements". Mozart's "Prague" Symphony (No. 38) has only three movements and is sometimes called the symphony without a minuet. Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony only has two movements, thought presumably it was not planned that way. In the final consideration, it's best simply to go with whatever the composer called it.
The number of movements in the work
Usually, there are three or four movements. Some however, do not have definite breaks between movements and segue directly into the next.

This symphony has no specific name
A symphony is a large piece of music written for an orchestra (like the New York Philharmonic or the Boston Symphony Orchestra). They started with Haydn during the Classical period, and are still written today. They consist usually of 3 main movements, or sections each lasting several minutes. (the number does vary depending on composer -- Olivier Messiaen wrote one that is 10 movements long!). See the related link 'Wikipedia - Symphony' below for further information. Symphony is also a greek word which means "agreement" It comes from two words:Syn=Add and phoni=voice thus you have "added voices" equals agreed voices...
Symphony Number 8 by Schubert
In 1788.
The number of musicians employed by a typical symphony orchestra is anywhere from 80 to 100. So the answer is false
It was simply called Symphony in E flat major. Mozart did not number or name his symphonies.
