Description:
Franz Schubert wrote his Symphony No. 9 in C major (The
Great), D. 944, sometime between 1825 and 1826.
But his older brother hoarded the manuscript until 1838.
Then Viennese and Parisian orchestras declined to play
it. British musicians laughed at Mendelssohn when he
tried to perform a greatly shortened version of it in
London. A guest pianist helps Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra
Music Director Neal Gittleman, as he paints a picture
of Schubert’s frustration eventually turned to
triumph.
