Symphony no. 9 in C major, D. 944 "The Great"

Symphony No. 9 in C major, D. 944, commonly known as The Great, is a symphony by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1825–1826. The work displays expansive, lyrical themes, rich orchestral colouring and a large-scale four-movement structure that reflects Schubert's late style and marks a move towards greater symphonic breadth in early 19th-century music.
