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".

Movements

There are four movements:

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

$\relative c' { \tempo "Adagio" \key c \major \time 3/4 c2.->\fp | <g' c e>4-.\f <f c' f>-. r | c2.->\fp | <c' fis>4-.\f <b g'>4-. r }$

(The true marking is fzp rather than fp, but that is not available in LilyPond.)

A typical performance lasts around 32 minutes.
