What is a symphony with two movements called?

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.


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.
