The Symphony No. 6 in C major, D. 589, is a symphony by Franz Schubert composed between October 1817 and February 1818. Its first public performance was in Vienna in 1828. It is nicknamed the "Little C major" to distinguish it from his later Ninth Symphony, also in C major, which is known as "the Great."

"There is a fire in Schubert" - Beethoven A wonderful piece that I discovered on FM radio!

[@FlexingClassicalMusic]

Exploring the realm of classical music is akin to entering a museum of sound, where each musical piece is a grand work of art. The uniqueness and intricacy of classical compositions make them special and awe-inspiring.

[@geniusofmozart]

It seems to me that this is a particularly underrated symphony. Fantastic piece.

This is the most enjoyable recording of this symphony that I have heard! Thanks!

even among so many warm and bouyant Schubert symphonies, this one particularly stands out for its playful lightness of heart and self-contented ease

Absolutely beautiful! One of my all time favourites... brings tears to my eyes every time I hear this wonderful piece.

[@714Sluggo]

Definitely one of the nine best Schubert Symphonies.

Without Schubert and his great performers such as this orchestra with splendid skill and breathtaking technique , the classical music world and our world would have been very lonely . This performance is comfortable and soothing to the ears and the mind From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵

While the giant, Beethoven, was building new roads, masters like Schubert and Mendelssohn, were showing us that Mozart could be brought into the Romantic vein.

Not to mention Carl Marie von Weber.

[@Rombik97]

Reminiscent of Beethoven and lovely.

[@klop4228]

When I first heard this, I though it was Beethoven. Then I spent ages wondering where it could have come from, because I knew all the scherzos from Beethoven's symphonies. I do believe this may have been modelled after the one from Beethoven's Seventh; the style of both the scherzo and the trio match up pretty well.

[@johncitizen9540]

+klop422 I came down to the comments for the scherzo question. Very much like a Beethoven scherzo & trio. Thanks.

[@bertrandmarotte4401]

A little too close to Beethoven in some sections!

[@norgorzg]

@@klop4228 What about the Pastorale?

[@derreckwalls7508]

[@PP1969GR]

No words to describe 2nd and 3rd mov :-) (although here they 're somehow slow)

[@johnhardesty3167]

Some say this was his greatest symphony.

[@remomazzetti8757]

I doubt that anyone says this is his greatest symphony. It's his last completed symphony, also in C major called "the Great" C major Symphony to distinguish it from this earlier more modest symphony.

[@johnhardesty3167]

Remember, Schubert, Liszt, and Saint-Saens were rock stars of their time.

[@remomazzetti8757]

Schubert lived most of his short life in obscurity.

[@foveauxbear]

Not sure about "rock star" as Schubert was very little know, almost unheard of until his death in his early 30s. He also died in poverty, and was very sick for a lot of his wretched life.

[@xoppa09]

13:00 the symphony is playing this part a bit slow. This should be played fast , with a light step. Had to resort to extreme measures, x1.25. The sound quality is good - even at higher speed. I resumed normal speed in the next movement.

[@Sayeedur123]

KZbin's way of speeding up music doesn't work in the usual way of stretching waves. The pitches are kept intact.

[@Ehedquist]

It seems extreme to change tempo of a piece, apparently comparing the tempo to another conductor's choice on a different recording. I record Direct TV programs in order to fast forward thru commercials. But speeding the tempo to match another conductor's choice seems petty. I just enjoy different artist's performances.

[@bertrandmarotte4401]

How do you change the speed?

[@gerardbegni2806]

Small, of course, when compared to the gigantic and visionary last one. nevertheless, in line with Haydn and Mozart tradiditon, havig successfully herd Beethoven's crucial innovations and even some Italian inflexions (herd fo rom a long distance...), thiis is bt y no ways a "little" syphony, but a masterwork in a language of its own.

[@Braga_18]

Can we talk about the background picture, anyone know the name?

Why is it called little?

[@KuhlauDilfeng2]

oreo31598 His ninth symphony, also in C-major, is often called the "The Great".

[@klop4228]

Should be "little C major", as other symphonies are littler, at heatsink terms of time. I think

[@sodality3970]

[@djtgemhg]

Der 3. Satz ist aber dem der 7. Sinfonie von Beethoven 3. Satz teils sehr sehr ähnlich :-) Einflüsse Beethovens sind unverkennbar. 3. Movement is a quasi-copy or very compareable with Beethovens 7. Sinf. 3. Mvnmt.

[@tampentrekker]

Kopieren war damals wie heute ÜBLICH .... Ich kniee vor Beethoven ... Schubert aber kreierte wirklich NEUES : also weg von Barock und Rokoko ! Seine Verehrung für Mozart (Frühwerke) und Beethoven (etwas später) sind wunderbar - aber SCHUBERT Franzl kann man in allen seinen Werken eindeutig erkennen (da ist immer so was WIENERISCHES .... !!!)

[@GoTzeHAMMER]

III Movement has a Beethoven vibe.

[@maldicientin]

"Little" by Schubert's standards...

[@rossini9mozart10]

No, it's just because the Symphony 9 is really great and in C major too, so this symphony is the "little" one. Otherwise all Schubert's symphony are not really long
