Many do, but not all. Some symphonies go through an almost continual organic development, either touching on sonata formulae or eschewing sonata altogether.

What is the form of the first movement in a symphony?
Very commonly, the first movement of a symphony appears in Sonata form. If it is one of the later symphonies (Mozart, for example), it will likely have 4 movements. The second would be some type of slow movement in a binary form. The 3rd would often be a minuet and trio, followed by a closing movement in Sonata form again.
What do sonata concerto and symphony have in common?
They are all different things, but interlinked. Sonata form can be thought of as more like a building block in the sense that it would generally be used as the structure for one single movement within a larger work - for example, a movement from a concerto or a symphony (this is something concertos and symphonies have in common). Every standard symphony from the classical era onwards will have a first movement written in sonata form, and often the finale (final movement) will also be in sonata form. Concertos from the classical era onwards will also generally have a first movement based on sonata form, although the structure is somewhat different due to the movement obviously being scored for a soloist as well as an orchestra (that is basically the definition of concerto - a work featuring a soloist and orchestra of some description), which means a there will be a double exposition, usually with first the orchestra (tutti) playing at the beginning of the exposition, then the solo instrument.Of course, I have assumed you mean 'sonata form', rather than the 'sonata' as in a work for one or two instrumentalists, generally with several movements, out of which at least one (but not all) is a sonata form movement, usually the first movement. If you are talking about this meaning of sonata, then it has something in common with the concerto, as both feature a soloist, but a concerto will also feature an orchestra, whereas in a sonata the soloist would perhaps be accompanied by a piano, harpsichord, etc., but certainly not by an orchestra. It also has something in common with the symphony, since they both use sonata form for at least one movement; however, the sonata is quite a different thing to the symphony.To sum up, it depends which way you look at it. Concertos and symphonies are both multi-movement works which use sonata form for at least one movement, so they have that in common. However, the orchestra in a symphony would generally be quite a bit larger than a concerto, particularly a classical era concerto, as otherwise the soloist would be overpowered. Sonata form ties everything together, but it is different to concertos and symphonies as it is the structure of a single movement, not a multi-movement work, and a sonata has some similarities to the concerto, as outlined above, but few to the symphony.
Is Symphony 40 by Mozart in sonata allegro form?
Mozart's 40th is his most serious symphony, one of only two out of the 41 in a minor key. In keeping with this, it's also more complex. Three of the four movements are in sonata-allegro form, with only the third movement adhering to the normal classical mold, the usual minuet and trio. The mostly somber mood has not prevented it being one of Mozart's most popular works.
The third movement of a Classical symphony is most frequently in?
Theme and variation was an entire form of classical music, consisting of its own movements.
What are characteristics of symphony?
Some characteristics that many symphonies have in common are that they are tonal and written in four movements. The first movement is often in sonata form.
