About Symphony No. 9
The Symphony in C major, D. 944, known as the Great, is the final symphony completed by Franz Schubert. It was first published by Breitkopf & Härtel in 1849 as "Symphonie / C Dur / für großes Orchester" and listed as Symphony No. 8 in the New Schubert Edition, but in the traditional English system it is numbered 9. Originally called The Great C major to distinguish it from his Symphony No. 6, the Little C major, the subtitle is now usually taken as a reference to the symphony's majesty. Unusually long for a symphony of its time, a typical performance of the Great lasts around one hour when all repeats indicated in the score are taken. The symphony was not professionally performed until 1839, over a decade after Schubert's death.
