| Description: Franz Schubert's ninth symphony was known as "The Great" C major symphony, and this string orchestra arrangement remains faithful to the original, yet accessible with minimal shifting. From the first downbeat of the energetic Allegro ma non troppo, brisk momentum maintains a steady gallop that oscillates between triple and duple rhythms, often building in ebullient rising scales. Portions of the original development are included, as well as a grand return to a restatement of the Andante theme at the end. |
