If any Symphony has found its way to the hearts of all, it is surely this Symphony by Schubert.

Almost all Symphonies consist of four or more Movements, but this is an exception. Only two Movements and a sketch of a third are known to exist. Probably, Schubert. always busy on a great many works, forgot about it or lost interest in it. He lived six years after completing the first two Movements.

In the First Movement sadness and wistfulness alternate with tender optimism.
The Second Movement is a beautiful out-pouring of serene and comforting music.
