kind of reminds me of the episode of Casper where he went to the musical theatre and saw the ghost of Schubert sitting at the piano trying to play this! :D
wow. this is really well done. but slow down!, and add more dramatic emotion, more feeling! the strings part has to be less playful, more haunting! :-) don't mean to critizise, i still think your transcription is incredible. i would buy the sheet music if i found it in a shop... :-)
very nice! this is your own transcription? The only advice I really have for you is to try in the future to make the violin part in the accompaniment (RH of the beginning) a bit more subtle. Thanks for posting!
Also, just to clear some things up, it is widely believed that Schubert did in fact complete three movements of the piece, but that the full score of the third movement was lost, leaving only incomplete piano sketches (the common story behind this is that the score was entrusted to a friend/acquaintance for transportation or something, and that the person either lost or kept the score for the 3rd.)
Ah, Schubert's unfinished symphony. Its so great, i feel like i could write a tragedy story to this piece. Try Schuberts Sonata in A minor "per Arpeggione" Its a great peice that I am playing for NY state youth orchestra. Schubert is my altime favorite composer. but more emotion and drama! its what schubert is all about.
Well, usually there're 4 movements in average at the time of Schubert, however; there're only 2 movements in his 8th symphony. That's why it's called,"Unfinished symphony"
My orchestra teacher told us he just didn't finish it, like he was too consumed with other work that he just put this on the back burner. And of course, he did eventually die, but I don't think he died in the midst of writing this.
Very nice transcription, but your play is a little mecanic and rigid

@mshappiano 감사합니다. 이 버젼은 저가 외워서 연주한 거라 악보가 없내요. 아시다시피 워낙 유명한 곡이다 보니 오랜 기간 동안 들어오다 보니 지금 보신 것만큼만 연주할 수 잇내요~;;

@parkthoven It is also because the symphony was actually unfinished (sketches of 3rd mvmt scherzo proof)

it was said that this piece was actually not completed, and Scubert died when he was writing this piece..so it is called unfinished smphony...

Same here. The bass part is SOOOOO awesome. Right at D is one of my favorite parts in any piece. This version varies a lot in tempo.

I love this piece, you have a great talent, but don't forget about the feeling, feel the notes, you acelerate too much in some parts.

Have you ever heard Leopold Godowsky's Passacaglia for piano; it is based on the first 8 bars of the unfinished symphany; it's very good.

Really? I should try that. I 've heard Godowsky's Chopin Etude Studies, but never heard of Passacaglia for piano. Thanks for your info~

You're welcome; Naxos have a good recording of it on a cd called 'Schubert: Piano transcriptions'
