Schubert Allegro Andante con moto Menuetto (Allegro molto) and Frio Allegro vivace There is a good deal of Schubert’s music which he himself never heard performed, and we have it on the authority of Sir George Grove that, when this Symphony Was played at the Crystal Palace in 1873 -more than fifty years after its: composi-tion-it was its first public performance. Composed when Schubert was still in his *teens, it is full of all the youthful exuberance of spirits that we look for in his early work. There is no trace in it of the!

sadness which we can hear in many of his later works; it is bubbling over with happiness throughout. 8.56 9.0 9.20 Alexander Kipnis (bass), "Hedge Rose Op. 3 No. 3" Schubert "Tmpatience Op. 25, No. 7" Schubert Royal Opera Orchestra Covent Garden, "Marche Militaire" Schubert Reserved Weather forecast and station notices
