Schubert and the Symphony: A New Perspective
First full-length study of Schubert's career as a symphonist.

Astonishingly, Schubert's symphonies have never received the detailed study that their prominence in the orchestral repertoire would suggest they deserve. In this book Professor Brian Newbould, perhaps the best-known of contemporary Schubert scholars, examines each symphony for its individuality and shows its relationship to Schubert's symphonic ouvre. He gives particular attention to the sketched works that have recently emerged in his own completions andto the two familiar masterpieces of Schubert's maturity, the ‘Unfinished' and the ‘Great C major'. He also casts new light on the role of Haydn and Mozart as models for the younger Schubert.

Schubert and the Symphony is conceived as a companion to the symphonies for the listener, the professional musician and the student.

BRIAN NEWBOULD is Professor of Music at the University of Hull. He has lectured extensively in Europe and North and South Ameica, and occasionally finds time to compose, conduct and perform.
