THE YEOVIL TOWN SILVER PRIZE BAND : Musical
Director, R. W. DAVISON
WHY Schubert left his Eighth Symphony unfinished, nobody knows. Its two-
Movements-and-a-bit were written, probably in the space of no more than a week or ten days, in 1822, six years before the Composer's death, and the music remained in manuscript, quite unknown, for forty-five years !
