SCHUBERT’S MUSIC
Sir-I was amazed to find Schubert’s Symphony No. 3 in D included in what was described, both in The Listener's advance programme lists, and by the announcer in introducing the work, as a programme of "Music of the late 18th Century" (2YC, Tuesday, February 22, 10.7-11 p.m.) The date of this symphony is 1815. The composer himself was not born until 1797 and hence could not, precocious though his genius admittedly was, have written much "music of the late 18th Century." To raise such an issue in your columns may perhaps be regarded by some as pedantic quibbling, but the distortion of chronology in this instance was surely too gross to let pass without protest. :
