While there are a number of "Fifth Symphonies," by far the most well known is Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. A symphony is a themed collection of pieces of music, composers didn't "name" them in the pop music sense but gave them titles according to the key in which they are written i.e. "Symphony in C", however once you have written more than one symphony in the same key it becomes necessary to number them, so a "fifth symphony" is the fifth symphony written by a composer.
Bittersweet Symphony
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Symphony No. 41 in C major was completed on August 10, 1788. It was the last symphony that he composed.
He wrote Symphony in C, Symphony in E-flat major, Symphony in Three Movements, and a work called Symphonies of Wind Instruments which is not in fact a symphony; of that work he said he used the title Symphonies in its original meaning of "sounding together." He also wrote Symphony of Psalms, which uses a full chorus singing the text of some of the Biblical psalms of David, in three movements.
The unusual characteristic of Mozart's 36th symphony is that the slow movement had a siciliano character which he only used one other time, in the Paris symphony. However, he continued to use this in his later works, such as symphony No. 40
