Schubert's First Symphony is dated October 28, 1813, his last year as a pupil at the Convict School in Vienna (one of the foundation schools so popular in Germany and Austria, which were supported by state or private endowment).
The symphony is scored for two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, drums, and strings, which was probably the strength of the Convict orchestra, and was performed on the name-day of Dr. Lang, the director of the Convict. It is in four movements.
