Opera Seira & Opera buffa can better be called 'Types' (or flavors?) of
opera. Form is jargon in music... so better avoid that word, in this
question. (because Opera itself is a form, whereas symphony is just
another).
Symphony is often defined as 'a serious' piece of music. So i'v never
come across something like a symphonie buffa.
Nice people in this group are giving perfect info about symphony. As
they said, A symphony is basically is a 4 mvt musical work. It has gone
thru several changes - because of changes in orchestra and age, and
ofcourse because of composers who defined/redifined it.
So, if u further want 'the types' of symphonies.... as far i know,...
may be Mozartian symphonies, beethoven symphonies, brahms symphonies
etc.. because they sound entirely different, and indeed they r.
