A full symphony orchestra could easily have 80 people.
Of course! You'd be surprised, actually, by just how many people play in a symphony orchestra.
The number of musicians employed by a typical symphony orchestra is anywhere from 80 to 100. So the answer is false
Not really... although the terms are generally used synonomously, these days. An orchestra is defined as an ensemble of different families of instruments. So, that could include concert bands, big bands and the jazz orchestra (big band, 2 horns and strings), among others. A symphony is a specific musical form, usually played by a (fairly) specific ensemble. So, the term "symphony orchestra" is literally an ensemble capable of playing that kind of piece... thus the modern symphony orchestra. Generally, the term "symphony orchestra" is more specific, when talking about the classical ensemble.
The violin carried the melody. It was like the modern guitar in a rock band.
It all depends on the type of symphonyorchestra you are talking about and the time period of the symphony orchestra.

Arthur Edward Johnstone has written: 'Instruments of the modern symphony orchestra and band'
The number of musicians for an orchestra is usually determined by the composer who will specify which instruments and how many of each is necessary to do his/her work justice.

Ellen Taaffe Zwilich's musical style is typically categorized as post-modern, neo-romantic. She won a 1983 Pulitzer Prize in Music for Symphony No. I (Three Movements for Orchestra), "commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra and premiered by that orchestra on May 5, 1982 in Alice Tully Hall, New York City." Zwilich was the first woman to win a Pulitzer for composing music.Prior to the 1980s, Zwilich's work was considered "atonal."
The clarinet, and sometimes the bass clarinet. On rare occasion, some pieces call for a saxophone.
The total number of musicians in any orchestra totally depends upon the composer. It's the composer who spells out which instruments and how many of each are used in the performance of his/her pieces.
