The great Viennese composer Franz Schubert created a remarkable number of works in his tragically short life, including these two fine early symphonies. Symphony No. 3 in D Major (D200) is scored for 12 wind instruments and timpani. Symphony No. 6 in C Major (D589) is better known as "The Little Symphony in C" to distinguish it from Symphony No. 9, "The Great Symphony in C," whose magnificent finale it foreshadows. Both are reproduced from the authoritative Breitkopf & Hartel edition.
