a. an elaborate instrumental composition in three or more movements, similar in form to a sonata but written for an orchestra and usually of far grander proportions and more varied elements. b. an instrumental passage occurring in a vocal composition, or between vocal movements in a composition. c. an instrumental piece, often in several movements, forming the overture to an opera or the like. d. a concert performed by a symphony orchestra. e. anything characterized by a harmonious combination of elements
Composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich became the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1983. Her Symphony No. I (Three Movements for Orchestra) was commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra.

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.

It is a work for orchestra and a soloist.
Typically, there are 4 many movements in Baroque symphonies. There are andante, adagio, allegro, and ending with andante. The different portions may be played by different sections of the orchestra.
A concerto is a work in three movements, rather than the four movements of a symphony, in which a solo instrument or ensemble is accompanied by an orchestra. The concerto developed earlier than the symphony. As in the symphony, the first movement of the classical concerto is generally in sonata-allegro form, followed by a slow movement and a finale usually in rondo form. The concerto had arisen in the Baroque period, in two types. One was the concerto grosso, in which a small ensemble within the orchestra is contrasted to and accompanied by the full complement. The other was the solo concerto as described.

The three types of orchestra are symphony, chamber, and string. The symphony orchestra consists of woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion. The chamber orchestra usually has less than 50 musicians. A string orchestra only has string instruments - violin, viola, cello, and upright bass, piano, and harp.
