Symphony No. 6 (Schubert)

The Symphony No. 6 in C major, D. 589,[1] is a symphony by Franz Schubert composed between October 1817 and February 1818.[2] Its first public performance was in Vienna in 1828. It is nicknamed the "Little C major" to distinguish it from his later Ninth Symphony, in the same key, which is known as the "Great C major".[3]

There are four movements:

  1. Adagio, 3/4 - Allegro, 2/2
  2. Andante, 2/4 in F major
  3. Scherzo: Presto; Trio: Piu lento (Trio in E major), 3/4
  4. Allegro moderato, 2/4
