Die Unvollendete in b, D. 759 / Sinfonie Nr. 6 in C, D. 589

Album by Franz Schubert & Anima Eterna Brugge

Die Unvollendete in B minor, D.759 and Sinfonie Nr. 6 in C major, D.589 are two symphonic works by Franz Schubert, composed in 1822 and 1818 respectively. They contrast the Unfinished's two completed movements, intimate lyricism and unresolved harmonic gestures with the earlier Sixth's brighter Classical orchestration, extended thematic development and clearer adherence to sonata form, together illustrating Schubert's move from Classical models toward a more expansive Romantic orchestral language.
