No, he is not. That accolade belongs to F J Haydn, who was the composer chiefly responsible for developing the symphony from what it was in the early and middle years of the 18th century (a type of lightweight 'entertainment' music) to what it had become by the second half of that century (one of the most powerful, subtle, and imaginative forms of musical expression ever devised).
Haydn wrote over 100 symphonies, but that is not the reason for his being dubbed 'the father of the symphony'. It was the quality of his work in that area, not the quantity, that was significant.
False, because of his enormous contribution to this genre, it is Haydn, not Beethoven, who is often referred to as the "Father of the Symphony."
Ludwig van Beethoven was the musician who wrote the famous Ninth Symphony, also known as The Choral. Rather than use the term "artist" as it is used by musicians today, Beethoven was referred to as a composer. This particular symphony, Beethoven's final and properly called Symphony no 9 in D minor, is famous for scoring a choir as one of the "instruments".
Beethoven's most famous symphony was his fifth and ninth.
Beethoven started this work in 1818 and it was completed in 1824. Beethoven's sketchbooks are also showing that the first bits of material that appeared in the symphony were written in 1811. This symphony is also the last symphony beethoven composed.

No. Franz Joseph Haydn is the "Father of Symphonies"/ "Father of String Quartets". Beethoven studied under Haydn from 1791-1793 while Haydn was touring Europe.
