Three. You'll sometimes see 4 but very rare.
The most common form is three movements.
Haydn's Trumpet Concerto in Eb followed the standard three-movement concerto form.
A concerto is a three-movement form of composition with a solo instrument playing alongside an orchestra. A concerto with many instruments playing in a " solo group " is called a concerto grosso.
A Concerto is a type of classical work where usually a single instrument (but sometimes more, for example, a double or triple concerto) is the solo instrument, and a piano or orchestra accompanies. Most concertos go in 3 movements, with the tempo arranged as Fast-Slow-Fast, respectively. There are many different styles the concertos can have. Compare Mozart Flute concerto No. 1 and the Ibert Flute Concerto, and both may be in 3 movements, but organization is very different, because they were in different eras of classical music. Sometimes, concertos don't even follow the 3 mvmt. system. I personally have heard a piano concerto in one movement, and another in 2. Elgar's Cello concerto is in 4.
Just four: I: Adagio; Allegro moderato II: Andante, III: Larghetto IV: Allegro vivace.

The Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73 by Ludwig van Beethoven, is divided into a standard three movements.
He only wrote one concerto, but he wrote it over 400 times.
He did not write the following types of concertos: viola, double bass, oboe, flute, clarinet, harp, and many more instruments. The only concertos that he has written are: Bassoon Concerto, Piano Concerto, Violin Concerto, Cello Concerto.
There are usually three movements in a concerto, the first and last being in most cases faster than the middle movement. Needless to say, some composers have deviated from this pattern. [The following information, posted by a previous editor, seems to be the answer to a different question, concerning sonata form: : 1) Exposition (the theme is introduced, but in 2 different keys) 2) Development (the themes are developed/varied) 3) Recapitulation (the themes are reintroduced, but this time in the same key)]
While there are many famous Baroque concertos, one of the most well-known is Bach's Brandenberg Concerto.
Hayden D major cello concerto. Many cellists are unable to perform it.
