Conducted by Joseph LEWIS
AT an age when Beethoven had given the world one Symphony, Schubert had already produced eight, the first appearing in 1814, in its composer's eighteenth year. The fourth, to be played this evening, was finished in the spring of 1816, though it was not until 1849 that it was first played-by the Euterpe Musical Society. Its title of ' Tragic ' was not given to it till later, and though it is not wholly appropriate, the Symphony contrasts strongly with the joyful mood of its predecessors.
