Considered one of Franz Schuberts best but underplayed symphonies,the 5th stands alone in many ways. With the opening theme Schubert establishes the symphonies' sense. A typical Mozartean theme, fresh, sweet, and charming.

With the second movement, starting as a sublime but gentle melody.The movement matures along the way as the theme is played over and over again.

The third movement is slightly reminescent of Mozart's symphony 41.With the strings blasting out the main melody. Slight arpeggios dominate this movement. Then about a minute and a half in the music turns gentle with the strings playing a slow part but quickly reverts to the main theme again.

And finally the fourth movement, with a slight polyphonic feel, with heavy strings adding to the effect. The overall feel of this movement is very Romantic in style.--66.225.142.2 22:56, 16 July 2006 (UTC) Ivan Slabchuck

[edit] Sugestion

I was thinking that perhaps the article should focus a little more of Shubert's symphony than on the comparisons with other works.--Cha daniels 21:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
