Plus at least three other Strauss symphonies depending on your views on such matters: Certainly the early symphonies in d-minor (1880) and f-minor (Op. 12, 1883), and possibly the late 2nd Sonatina for Winds (1945), a.k.a. "Symphonie fur Blaser." The, "Symphonia Domestica"? Well, more of a hybrid I suppose--a symphonic poem hiding within a four-movement structure. Cheers, Mike Smith Boulder, Colorado (snowing outside)
