The London 4eadsnsy says Of schuhert's
Second Symphony, which was recently giycu in
hat city for the first time: = With the single
exception OF a characteristic persistence in one
.hythn through the greater part OF the
1uale, there is absolutely nothing IN the entire
work which even suegcs.s its being compost
ion Of Sclubert'S ut all. If it had been an
aounced as I'LL unknown work Of Haydn's or :
sIozart's, it may be doubted whether any con- !
1oisscur present would have discovered the real
author. In the slow movement, indeed. the |
resemblance Of style is at times almost ludi !
rous."
