Both of these composed followed the fast-slow-fast formation for symphonies. Haydn and Mozart worked to develop the sonata form in symphonic works. They introduced a Minuet and Trio as third movement before the last movement.
Mozart and Hayden, he eventually lead to the development of the Romantic Classical style away from them and broke the rules
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.
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.
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.
There is no Symphony No. 37, though Mozart is credited with composing 41 symphonies.
Four.

No, Mozart was a classical composer.
There is no Symphony No. 37, though Mozart is credited with composing 41 symphonies.
Mozart performed his first symphony February 21, 1765.
The best classical composers are probably Mozart and Haydn. Search for these pieces in youtube and listen to them played by orchestras; * Mozart- Eine Kleine Nachtmusik 1st movement * Haydn- Symphony 101 2nd movement * Mozart- Marriage of Figaro Overture * Mozart- Piano Concerto 21 2nd movement
Mozart's Symphony No 40 is not in D major, but in G minor.
1. The forms in movements 1, 2, and 4: the first movement is in sonata form, the second is a theme and variations, and the fourth is again in sonata form. The Symphony is clearly Romantic in style and has a Romantic theme. The form in the third movement is scherzo-trio, which is a Romantic innovation derived from the minuet-trio that is commonly associated with the Classical period. Also, there are sudden changes in tempo and mood within each movement. I would not call this a Classical symphony. It sounds too far different than one by Haydn or Mozart.
Mozart composed classical music.
