Franz Schubert - Symphony No.4 in C-minor, D.417 "Tragic" (1816)
Picture: Carlo Bossoli - Battle of Solferino
Franz Schubert
Work: Symphony No.4 in C-minor, D.417 "Tragic" (1816)
Mov.I: Adagio molto - Allegro vivace 00:00
Mov.II: Andante 09:57
Mov.III: Menuetto: Allegro vivace 17:57
Mov.IV: Allegro 21:15
Orchestra: Failoni Orchestra
Conductor: Michael Halász
The title Tragic is Schubert's own. It was added to the autograph manuscript some time after the work was completed. It is not known exactly why he added the title, but the work is one of only two symphonies (the Unfinished Symphony is the other) which Schubert wrote in a minor key.
The symphony is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in B-flat, 2 bassoons, 4 horns in A-flat, C and E-flat, 2 trumpets in C and E-flat, timpani and strings.
The slow introduction is modeled after Haydn's The Representation of Chaos overture to The Creation oratorio. The opening theme of the Allegro of the first movement derives from the opening theme of Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quartet, Op. 18 No. 4 in the same key.
The slow movement is in A-B-A-B-A form which would be a favorite form for most of Schubert's remaining symphonic slow movements (the Unfinished being the only exception). The themes are the B section are not new. They are developed from the Allegro theme of the first movement and the themes of A section. The second appearance of B, the third return of A and the beginning of the coda have a sixteenth-note ostinato accompaniment added to help bring cohesiveness to the sections. This was a device that Beethoven had previously used in the slow movements of his Op. 18 No. 1 quartet and his Pathetique sonata.

Schubert died at 31. Mozart, 35. Chopin, 39. Mendelssohn, 40. Dying young was so common back then - no antibiotics, medical science was a joke. It’s strange how much we take for granted today that would appear utterly miraculous to people living a few generations ago. Like cell phones, KZread instant music. Schubert never even heard his own symphonies played. We can listen to them now anytime we like, and for free.

ExVeritateLibertas Beethoven didn’t publish his first opus until 1795, when he was 25. But he had composed a great many works previously. He composed some significant works in Bonn before he moved to Vienna. The “Joseph” Cantata. He studied with Haydn for a few years prior to publishing anything. But he was a virtuoso pianist and terrific at improvisation. By the time he published his first opus, he was already a fully mature master and Haydn’s equal. Don’t know why he waited so long to publish anything.

This symphony was composed when Schubert was very young (19 years old), and nevertheless it is perfect. The influence of Beethoven is obvious. The second movement clearly anticipates an impromptu, also in A flat major. It is absolutely amazing to have such an art of orchestration so young when not playing in an orchestra.

I believe a correction is in place. Schubert had already had experience in both playing in an orchestra (he played the violin) and leading one prior to composing his early symphonies. He was a member of his school's orchestra (the Stadtkonvikt's orchestra) and as a student of Antonio Salieri he had also been taught musical theory.

Pardon... the following note was written before I noticed the above comment which renders some of my enlightening comments redundant ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ p.s. Schubert organized a casual orchestra composed of family and friends wherein he could sound out his compositions. I’m sure it was pretty hit and miss but it was something. He was able to perform his songs because his adoring friends had regular get togethers called Shubertiads where Schubert would serenade his friends all night long while they partied. Must have been lonely for him. He never got the girl though he loved a few. As he became known the Schuberiads gained in popularity and began to be hosted by society’s patrons of the arts. One of his early teachers was court musician, Antonio Salieri of Mozart fame.

Gérard Begni composing and playing in a orchestra? There are plenty great symphony composers that never played in a orchestra.
Shubert’s fourth symphony was completed when he was nineteen, in 1816. It was only performed in 1849, after his death. The period of his life is historically enveloped in political storms, social transformations and the construction of new times. For him to write music, it is said, is more important than eating or drinking. This explains the volume of his work during a very short life, as he die at the age of 31. For Shubert although it is often believed that the opposite is true, there was only his intimate world, in whose work the pain often appears, which insistently enveloped him inwardly. He never held important musical positions. He often combined his symphonic works with other art forms where painting is not strange., showing how intimate life and feeling are at the origin of his creative impulse. His compositions explored the most unknown field of all: human feeling. He was a fabulous and extraordinary composer with an extreme sensitivity and one that was expected to be one of the greatest future musical promises. The intonation of the beginning music presents some successively greater triumphalism, interrupted by moments of greater calm. The andante touches us more deeply and has an amazing harmony. O Menuetto continues the previous movement, although with variations thT are sometimes more muted and others more vivid. The composition ends with one Allegro repeating the first movement. The interpretation and direction are flawless. The sound is sublime. Thanks for these moments of pure pleasure.

I love this symphony, so gorgeous ... reminds me of Haydn more than Beethoven, to my ear. Schubert was the master of melody. The 2nd movement is heartbreakingly beautiful, and so full of gentle power. Very much a sweet younger brother to the 5th, which is perfect.
Imagine a time where culture moved men to do great things and sacrifice. When a sense of pride for ones people and nation extended past their family but up help a sense of tradition, right and wrong. We have come a long way into awareness but we have receded from such passion for community. I'll be listening and dreaming of a day when man will play music again.

What a brilliant effort for such a young composer! (Schubert was 19 when he wrote this) I hear a very clever melding of the styles of both Mozart and Beethoven here---- the intro reminds me of a mix between the Don Juan Overture, with the section that follows having more Beethoven influence( I heard some Coriolanus Overture and Eroica Symphony type moments,mixed in with more Mozart references as well) But one shouldn't begrudge the borrowing of styles in the work of such a young composer. The music has its own logic and is compelling, and that's what matters. What a shame he didn't longer and write more music like this!

I often choose Schubert and not Beethoven though he revered the latter so much. He achieved sublimity without having to assert unlike Beethoven. His music is more tender and gentle but it touches the very core of our heart in every measure while Beethoven insisted that his music must be heard.. Schubert was humble and congenial but Beethoven was wild, irascible and hurtful. If there were gratitude, look to the life of Schubert who owed so much financially to his faithful friends. Schubert almost never performed in public--only twice unlike Beethoven. Greatness can be defined in many ways. In music, I admire the life and personality of the composer as much as his music. Mozart was a master of melodies and Schubert was equal. Who could write over 600 lieder? Dvorak was a great melodist like Tchaikovsky but there's only one Schubert. Why did I not mention Johan Staruss junior and the other Strausses? Their music is mainly ball-room music, to be heard for the moment, pleasurable but speaks little or nothing of the larger issues of human existence--they were great but of much lighter weight. I would die for the longing of Schubert but certainly not of the Strausses. Some of you might not agree. I live in Melb, a music-lover. Music is my religion

Amazing 4th symphony by Franz Schubert! With his symphonies, his Ave Maria... his Rosamunde, at last - and to go in 31? That was a tragedy! Nowadays medical might would turn him back to life if he live now. But he do not. The more medicine, the less musics. Strange correlation!

The young Schubert learnt a lot from Beethoven in that symphony. But the ideas are typically "schubertian". The slow movement in Ab major starts just like the impromptu op 142 in the same key. What strikes me also is that the orchestration is not ad added embellishment: it was not possible to express the ideas of this symphonny without an dadpted interpretation - I think for instance to the trombones in the finale, but also to some oppositions between strings and winds to express some details. This is a major learning from Bethoven -and even in the use of trombones Schubert is more advanced.

Wow, I didn't notice the correlation between the second movement and the impromptu until you pointed it out. Thanks for that. It's always interesting to hear recurring themes in music. I've heard Rachmaninoff do that a few times, as well.
Love this piece. Playing first oboe on it right now.

Just saw your comment and I hope you enjoyed it. Played the 1st oboe years ago and this masterpiece stuck with me. Difficult to play, but goes right into your heart doesn't it? ☺️
It is just .. magical :') l really love it ! I can't believe it is real ..
La batalla de solferino es prácticamente el mapa de la intervención de Napoleón a principios del 1800. Entre el cruce hacia Italia, y luego el tratado con Austria de campoformio.

ESL tip: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, (4 - 20)th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, (24 - 30)th. Idem est: all th except one, two and three, pronounced and spelt: first, second and third. Joke: 2th is what sometimes bites your tongue. Jubal is a good name.
It's so harmonically interesting to me that the recap of the finale is in C major after being in C minor the first time. Not a common thing at all, but treated as completely natural here. I mean, it goes into other minor keys during, but even so.

The C minor motif also sounds very very similar to Beethoven's string quartet in C minor, check it out, its almost identical, at least the first bit
I love this.
KuhlauDilfeng2, I think Schubert's NOT using A-B-A-B-A for the second movement of the "Unfinished" is an extra indicator that he at least sensed that the "message" (if you will) that he ended up with in the two movements was complete and that second movement was not going to be a transition into later movements, but he had quite well "said it all" in two. Stress with very little "sunlight" in the first; serenity with just a few brief times of "difficulty" in the second, and finally a pair of "pleas" right before the perfect bliss in the arms of God at the conclusion.
Reminds me of Shostakovich's Symphony No.5
MITICO !
Genius
Does anyone else think that, in the 4th Movement, Schubert is making a good deal of fun about the whole idea of tragedy?
Selain yang no 3 dan 9 tentu saja yg sym 8..sym ini sy suka sekali..energik...
Schubert hit his stride early, as this composition clearly indicates. Influences of Haydn and Beethoven are understandably apparent, but his own talent shines through as well.

I doubt schubert picked up many scores of Haydn in his life, but I could be wrong! It's more like beethoven influence since he was taught by haydn and of course mozart , who was on his level.
Ahora estoy descubriendo a schubert
so beautiful and tragic. amazing
that was also the year in which the first edition of frankenstein was published...

Estás Sinfonía número 4 de llamada italiana opus 91833 como en otras ocasiones se trata de imágenes sonoras románticas de soleados olivos peregrinos a Roma pastores en las colinas toscanas bailarines en carnaval, etcétera enmarcadas en el estilo del siglo 18 es un poema sonoro y una sinfonía todo en uno pocas obras incluso del mismo Mendelssohn igual la efervescencia del primer movimiento y el ritmo y fluidez del extenso toda la sinfonía es como la felicidad convertida en notas punto y final.

Maybe you mean the second movement. There is nothing happy or idyllic about the rest of the symphony - it is indeed quite tragic!
