horribly written not like an encyclopedic article what is this drivel that h ttenbrenner neither had the work performed nor even let the society know he had the manuscript is curious and has spawned various theories was he given an incomplete score by schubert and was waiting for the rest before saying anything if so he waited in vain throughout the six remaining years of schubert's life after schubert's premature death in of typhus as a complication of syphilis why didn't h ttenbrenner then make the existence of the manuscript known do the torn pages suggest he had somehow damaged the piece and managed to lose or even inadvertently destroy the last two movements was guilt therefore the reason he kept silent about the work's existence for years after schubert died could personality factors like introvertedness or jealousy have been at play here
