Mahlertitan Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Has anyone heard this symphony, I recently acquired A complete collection of Schubert's symphonies, and I was quite suprised what a piece of gem I got, the collection had all the symphonies that I know of, 1,2,3,4,5,6,8(first,second mov), 9. BUt additionally, it had fragments and other symphonic works by schubert that I was not aware of, for example, Symphonic fragments in D, D615, agadio-allegro moderato, allegretto, symphonic fragments in D, D708A, allegro vivace, Andante con moto, scherzo, presto. and an additional symphony #10 in D, D936 A. Has anyone heard of these pieces, I am just so shocked, that I have never heard any of these "unifinisehd" pieces, if anyone has heard any of these music, please to tell me more about it.

J. Lee Graham Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I heard the 10th Symphony a few years ago, I believe. Isn't that the one that only existed in a piano four-hands sketch/score? I'm pretty sure it is, and that's why no-one knows it. Anyway, the version I heard was someone's reconstruction of what Schubert's orchestration would likely have been. It was a pretty nice piece. Since it's not Schubert's own orchestration, it probably won't become part of the general repertoire. Then again, a lot of Mozart's Requiem isn't his own orchestration either, fleshed out by Eibler, Sussmayr et alia - and some of it isn't even his composition (the Sanctus and Benedictus) - but it's an indispensible part of the rep. It's anyone's guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
