Plays Unfinished Symphony by Schubert. In 1865, when he was 76 (three years before his death), Hüttenbrenner finally showed it to the conductor Johann von Herbeck, who conducted the extant two movements on 17 December 1865 in Vienna, adding the last movement of Schubert's third symphony as the finale. Music historians and scholars then toiled to "prove" the composition was complete in its two-movement form, and indeed, in that form, it became one of the most popular pieces in the late 19th-century classical music repertoire and remained one of Schubert's most popular compositions.
