Early classical to today!
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.

Specifically using the name "Classical Symphony"? Serge Prokofiev, who wrote it as a tribute to the classical era composers of the past.

Yes and no, a symphony does have an alto sax sometimes but it is not required for it to have one. It really depends if the symphony is classical, blues, or jazz. Jazz and blues should always have an alto sax. Classical doesn't really need an alto sax, but it does make classical sound better.
The minuet is usually the third movement of a symphony or sonata.
