Composers

Beethoven Triple

Schubert’s Symphony No. 5 is light and full of tunes, with a significantly smaller orchestra than his other symphonic works. The fifth was written while Schubert was particularly absorbed in the works of Mozart, and this influence can clearly be heard in a work that speaks with a distinctly 18th century voice.
