How many movements did Haydn modern classical symphony have?

Haydn's symphonies typically consist of four movements, following the classical symphonic form. The standard structure usually includes an opening sonata-allegro movement, a slow second movement, a dance-like third movement (often a minuet and trio), and a spirited finale.

How long is a 'movement' in music and how can you tell when the first 'movement' ends and the second begins?

Many classical pieces of music are split into a number movements. There's no real rules for this, symphonies vary between 1 and 24 movements, but most symphonies are 3 or 4 movements in length. The length of symphonies themselves vary enormously; up to 13 hours! However a "typical" symphony might be around 24 minutes long with three movements, with each movement around 8 minutes. You can tell when the movement ends as there is a pause. If you are not familiar with a piece you are seeing live, it's a good idea to know how many movements so you know when to clap!

Does a symphony have exactly four movements?

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.
