Evening Masterworks: Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 1 in D Op. 82

The composition came after earlier efforts to compose a symphony – both instances the composer had started and scrapped what he had – as well as a handful of completed overtures. Schubert’s Symphony No. 1 in D-Major, our Evening Masterwork on Classical WSMR 89.1 and 103.9.
