Original

Symphony No. 8 "Unfinished". First Movement. composed by Franz Schubert. 1797-1828. Arranged by Robert D. McCashin. For string orchestra. Orchestra. FJH String Orchestra. Score only. Full set. score and parts. also available. ST6131. Grade 3.5. Score only. Duration 4 minutes, 10 seconds. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc. FJ.ST6131S. Schubert's Symphony No. 8 is a timeless work that consistently remains a popular staple in the orchestral repertoire. It was composed in the autumn of 1822, yet not performed or published until well after the composer's death. The first performance was in Vienna in December of 1865. The widely recognized title is, of course, drawn from the fact that only two completed movements survive. Music historians have debated the completeness of the work, but the existence of a substantial piano sketch of the third movement makes it clear that Schubert intended to eventually compose a four-movement work. This arrangement maintains the lyrical and energetic characteristics of Schubert's original work. More emphasis on bow technique and independence of lines. For the accomplished middle, high school, college, or professional group. Grade 3 and up.
