Greetings from Vienna

Cyprus : Greetings from Vienna

In 1823, Schubert provided music for a play called “Rosamunde, Fürstin von Zypern”, which failed miserably and closed in two nights. Ιt wasn’t until 1868, when Grove and Sullivan made their famous discovery of Schubert scores in Vienna where the music was heard again, proving an instant success! Back in 1767, Mozart wrote to his father from Mannheim with regard to a commission for three flute concertos and four flute quartets: “It’s not surprising I have been unable to finish them, for you know I become quite powerless when I am obliged to write for an instrument I can’t stand.” However, not only did he eventually finish them, but there are no signs whatsoever in them that he disliked the flute. Schubert, wrote his Second Symphony at the age of 17, which is a quite remarkable effort and decidedly grander in scale and outlook than his First Symphony.
