Schubert: symphony 9 best recording
It was first published by Breitkopf & Härtel in 1849 as "Symphonie / C Dur / für großes Orchester"[1] and listed as Symphony No. 8 in the New Schubert Edition.[2] Originally called The Great C major to distinguish it from his Symphony No.
6, the Little C major,[3] the subtitle is now usually taken as a reference to the symphony's majesty. Unusually long for a symphony of its time, a typical performance of The Great lasts around one hour when all repeats indicated in the score are taken.
The symphony was not professionally performed until a decade after Schubert's deat
