By the time Harry Farmer was thirteen he was playing regularly for church services, and had already broadcast two piano solos from the Birmingham studios. A scholarship, won at the age of fourteen, gave him two years of tuition at the Walsall Institution, and subsequently at the Midland Festival of Music he won both first-class and second-class awards. Farmer's career as a cinema organist started when he was fifteen years old.

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.
