Right. Schubert could express the whole wide world in a piano piece of 3 minutes: 'Hungarian Melody' (D. 817). The greatest genius in music after J.S. Bach.
It is unbelievable that a work like this remained isolated in someone's drawer for 40 years. It is unsettling to think that something so simple as a house fire could have removed a work of such other-worldly beauty from existence. It makes me wonder if there have been other works of art as magnificent as Schubert's 8th that were indeed removed from existence.
Wikipedia states that one of Shubert's last symphonies was posthumously discovered by Schumann. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Schumann#1835%E2%80%9339 Is syphilis a paper transmitted disease?
"This is the symphony, that Schubert wrote but never finished. Would he have finished it, it wouldn't only have two movements. But unfortunately it has."
How about Erich Kleiber? th-cam.com/video/jd3wNq6xeWM/w-d-xo.html or th-cam.com/video/NfsdpugcAes/w-d-xo.html (remastered). Sawallisch's one is excellent, of course!
My composition teacher once told me that sometimes if you can't come up with anything else to write after you finish writing something you really like, that it is usually a sign that you are supposed to stop at that point. Maybe that is what happened to Schubert. Either way, I love this symphony the way it is.
@@antoniogallegosmusic The theory is that he stopped before writing the scherzo because scherzi are meant to be written in 3, and he realised that he had written the rest of the symphony in 3. So he gave up finishing the symphony because he believed having a symphony almost entirely in 3 wouldn't be well received.
@@arcsolver Not the good reason : it wouldn't have been entirely in 3, because all Schubert's symphonies have 4 movements. The truth is many Schubert's works in these median years were unfinished : the wonderful Quartettsatz, etc.
Oh, my Lord! That first movement's probably one of the finest compositions by Schubert, much less, anybody else of his genre! It quite simply is so beyond beautiful of the most inexplicable nature that there's nothing left to do but give in and listen to the musical-paradise that it is of the utmost perfection; yes, perfection itself ---- that's neither sad nor happy, neither melodramatic nor neurotic, neither spooky nor depressing ---- but just one that draws ye in ever so graciously that ye don't even realise, ye hath forgotten about everything else and can't seem to let go; all paralysed by its sheer grace!
That's why he couldn't "finish" it within the traditional format of a 4 movement symphony. It's perfect as a two mvt symphony. The two extra mvts in the "finished" version are anti-climactic.
THANK YOU so much for making this public again!!! I missed it enormously while it was private, because this is my favourite rendition and I used to listen to it often. Please keep these jewels accessible to all music lovers.

+tnsnamesoralong Do you think you might be willing to share your videos for Schubert's Ninth and the Bach Passions with me? Those were some of my very favorite videos on youtube and it would be quite nice to view them again.
One of my favorite symphonies. I wonder if Schubert wrote this tragic work when he found out he had contracted the then fatal disease of syphilis. ( He was to live about five more years after his diagnosis during which time his musical output would be the most productive in his short life.) The whole mood and character of this novel work was a complete break from the other symphonies he had written up that point. There is such sadness and fear mixed with hope, resentment and memories of happier days. I can't understand why he would hide this work only to be discovered about 20 years later after his death . So sad. RIP Dear Franz.
It's part of a recent theory why the symphony is "unfinished," but it doesn't matter, since the work is finished as it is. It's perfect in two movements.
I believe this is correct. It opened up for him or forced him into a new realm of feeling, representing a huge, lifetime advance. The scherzo (sketch and one fully scored page) reverts to his previous outlook too much, and I think this is why he abandoned it. The abandonment of the superb piano sonata in C (Relique) is not so easy to explain. It was a titan, and within a whisker of completion. Paul Badura-Skoda completed it, and many other completable piano sonatas, revealing a corpus of work of astonishing range and quality.
@@gervaisfrykman266 I think he realized at this point that youth with a golden "halo" and a cheery naive outlook was gone. The new :adult" life with some ":miserable realities" were now dawning and reflected in his music.
He actually put the symphony aside when he was commissioned to write the "Wanderer Fantasie". The symphony was written for the Graz Music Society, who granted him honorary membership. It was passed to friends Joseph and then Anselm Huttenbrenner (of Graz). Anselm kept it for decades until it was passed to a Viennese conductor Johann von Herbeck who performed it in 1865.
The dramatic sections are breathtaking. The lyrical sections are exquisitely beautiful. Notwithstanding its shortened form, surely one of the greatest symphonic works ever written. One never grows tired of hearing it.
There is just something magical about the oboe and clarinet melody at start where the E goes to an F natural. I guess that's the beauty of harmony and the sensitivity of Schubert.
That was, without a lie, one of the best 30 minutes of my young life. The melodies, the harmonies and the orchestration were just magical and perfect !!!!
maybe satan is the one who won't fucking buy the music but complains when the free version they find has ads in it, as if they have any right to be unhappy
8:41 - 9:21 Is this only mine favourite part or is it anyone else's? Gives me chills everytime. The greatest symphony ever written and the greatest musical climax I've ever listen to. It's so unfair he never got a chance to listen to any of his symphonies :(

Schubert thank you. You always have been and will be the musical delight of my life. You are music's essence. Thirty-one is such a short life. But what rich and infinite treasures you created.
in case you dont understand the story behind this piece, Schubert made the first and second movements and thought they were so good he could never finish so he literally just ended without doing a third or fourth movement.
The cello and bass parts are paramount to this symphony, introducing the main themes- both movements. I played the cello line decades ago. I'll never forget that performance.
Thank you so much for including the orchestral score.I played in the RAF Apprentices Brass band in 1950. The then bandmaster made us practice on a wide variety of music including classical. This by Schubert is one of my favourites .Many thanks.
End of the first movement, as dramatic as anything ever written, the tension and emotion of Beethoven, intensity and high strings that Dvorak uses, but without any thrashing around. Schubert's gift for melody reminds me of Keats's gift for beautiful language, and even his most dramatic passages are sublimely gorgeous.
When I was a freshman in high school, my teacher took this from his files collection and made us practice this song. We never played it in concert, but literally every year until my graduation he took it out randomly and had us practice sections of the song. I've always loved it since I first heard what it should have sounded like.

See, I was just wondering though some Minecraft role play animatics and stumbled upon this. I guess that’s the strangest way to be introduced to a masterpiece
Surprisingly, the 2nd mvt got stuck to my brain pretty easily. Normally when I listen to slow movements like these, I forget them. Man, Schubert really was something else if he's able to get a melody into my brain in just one listen.
Musik ist fabelhaft! Besonders freut mich die Lautstärke. Nicht alle haben die besten Ohren, da Hörgeschädigt. Danke an den Hochlader. Music is great! Particularly glad I am about the volume. Not everybody has good ears because of hearing difficulties. Thanks to the uploader.
It is truly awful that any human being should have to suffer in the way this music depicts, yet Schubert has created from his pain something so unutterably beautiful that it can lift me from the most terrible depths to a place that truly touches the divine.
Just wanted to say how much I love this recording and the piece in general. It's a little odd that something which is by definition incomplete can seem so perfectly whole. To me, the two movements speak of a turbulent personality finally coming to some form of resolution. I sometimes forget how revolutionary this symphony was for its day and I'd assume that it hailed from the latter part of the 19th century if I didn't know it was composed by Schubert. Thanks for uploading.
I LOVE the development section of that first movement!! It's one of my all time favorites!! That first movement is very interesting in terms of form though. It's in sonata form, but the modulation in the exposition is to the submediant, which still works, but the development section doesn't keep the same tonic. The recap section modulates to the relative major instead of the parallel major for the second theme. Very interesting and unusual. Still one of my favorite works!! Thanks for the effort and work that went into this video!! I love following the score, because I'm working on getting a music composition degree myself!

Thank you for this. This produces goosebumps over my entire body...One day I will listen to it live, it is one of these things you have to do before you die! plus I love "dancing" to it when alone in the house.. it just inspires me so much. To me it symbolises "the eternal fight of the human spirit", it brings out the fire in my soul..
We are so lucky this day we can listen to so many free music all composed by Schubert, Chopin, Mozart etc etc... Thank God for these music its free and so good.
I'm a violist and I played this in my high school symphony orchestra. This is in my top three favorites along with Dvorak's New World Symphony and Phantom of the Opera (I never turned in any of the music after the concert)
This particular piece is so enchanting , it pictures to myself life with its hardships and struggles , peaceful and tranquil moments. Schubert had concealed this work , perhaps it was to personal .
Thank you for this - I love this symphony, and being able to follow the music as it is played is such a treat, instead of a static picture of the composer, or a landscape as with so many other music downloads. xxx
Esto... simplemente, me hace amar cada vez más y más la música; y la oportunidad que tengo de poder interpretar esta pieza me resulta muy emocionante. Soy violín 2, pero de todos modos se tiene que tener bastante disciplina, constancia y de hecho amor a la música para interpretarla, cualquier persona que solo toca por tocar ve las partituras de reojo y piensa 'No, esto es demasiado complicado para mi, tengo flojera, no ni que fuera tan emocionante.' Amo el hecho de que me hayan dado la oportunidad de tocar esto y no me rendiré hasta que me salga lo mejor posible. Excelente pieza, muy hermosa y con sentimiento. A veces pienso ¿Que habrá pasado por la cabeza de los compositores para hacer semejante creación? Son personas realmente admirables, lástima que esta sea la Sinfonía Inconclusa. Repito, hermosa pieza.
I heard Schubert's Unfinished for the first time in early 1970's on Australian Broadcast- ing Corporation's Asia Pacific broadcast and ever since I have been mesmerised by the subtle beauty of the piece. Schubert like Beethoven was a student of Haydn and in this piece the slow, soft and moving refrain has the beauty of Haydn and in the other vigorous sections shows the modern and strong Beethovenesque style. In a way, this piece represents the blending and inter-twining of two styles, one of the Romantic period with its emphasis on beauty and the other of the Modern period with emphasis on subjective expression of the vagaries and highs and lows of human emotions. This piece ends bringing a contentment of a great piece well-concluded without leaving any craving that a great "unfinished" piece should cause. A Schubertian all-time gem !
So wunderbare Melodien hat der Wiener Komponist Franz Schubert zu Papier gebracht - herzaufwühlend. Schön! Such wonderful melodies were put on paper by the Viennese composer Franz Schubert - stirring up your heart. Awsome!
I got introduced to classical mainly through symphonic metal, X Japan's Art of Life lead me to this one, since it's based off it. Some of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard.
Many thanks for this post. I did not have a recording of this piece and really liked the interpretation and sound in this clip, so I chose this particular recording by Sawallisch, to get on CD.
I, as a mere lover of classical music (with few exceptions), have felt and thought for decades that Schubert knew in all his faculties that it would be utterly pointless and even detrimental to add anything to these two sublime studies of life's tribulations and divine rescue into renewed bliss. Bespeaks of this...
Schubert war ein IN-SICH zerissener Mann und das fühlt man in/mit jeder Note dieses einmaligen Meisterstücks. Das ist kein Stück, welches man sich an einem gemütlichen Abend "gönnt". Ich höre mir dieses beispiellose Zerwürfnis nur mit der Pistole im Mund an. Na, ob ich wohl noch ... auf zum DeLorean. Ich bin so ein toller, individueller und charmanter Kerl, ich geb mir gleich mal nen Top-Daumen - vielleicht kommt der später noch zum Einsatz.
I used to listen to this beautiful symphony while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the most holy rosary of the blessed virgin Mary. The arrangement seems to fit in an exact order of those meditations from beginning to end. There is a thread of mutual love woven throughout the piece akin to the mutual love expressed in the mysteries. I feel the unfinished ending is appropriate for the mutual love itself is unfinished, without an end.
"Why should the composer be more guilty than the poet who warms to fantasy by a strange flame, making an idea that inspires him the subject of his own very different treatment?" ~ Franz Schubert
So accept perfection, a fleeting sunrise. Elogiac melodies bounce between a emotional balance of peace and some kind pastoral landscape in Schuberts challenges. This was therapy for him
Came here to listen this because someone rejected to goto the prom with me. This piece induce the realization of the insignificance of such an event as compared to great music.
Good story, I learned that I can actually hum this whole entire song. Its amazing, because in math class, it really helps when you are taking the longest test ever!
Wow, recorded in the deepest, darkest days of the Cold War in Communist Germany! I have a "Freischuetz" that was recorded in Dresden under communism that is excellent as well!
+Jeffrey Morrissey That Freischütz is not only excellent, it's probably the best ever put on record. I have seen the Opera performed many times and it never came even close to what Kleiber accomplished. So my relationship to the work is kind of tainted. Because I never hear others to rise to that level again.
Hermosa obra. De magistral sencillez, exquisitas y delicadas ideas. Un juego entre diferentes tesituras de instrumentos, y súbitos cambios de temperamento. Como cuando de repente te embarga una idea poderosa que te quita el sosiego, pero, después, vuelve, como una mágica forma, la paz. Una obra inmortal.
I will always associate this music with those old "Smurfs" cartoons where it has been used as background music for dramatic scenes :) There's nothing better for kids to learn some classic music through watching cartoons ;) Disney did that a lot back then with their "Silly Symphonies" too.
"An unfinished piece of music, yet more complete than most others."
Right. Schubert could express the whole wide world in a piano piece of 3 minutes: 'Hungarian Melody' (D. 817). The greatest genius in music after J.S. Bach.

Actually the reason for the lack of completion of this Symphony is unknown, that's one of many theories.
If Schubert had simply fired half the string section, he would have had sufficient funds to pen a complete symphony!

I've always loved it since I first heard what it should have sounded like.
I never get tired of listening to this symphony. That is the magic of classical music.

You were Haydn yourself from us all along, you DO listen to Schubert!
I knew it! Schubert is Xehanort!
when will he drop his next release?
waiting so long for a new tape by him
I think our boi Shubert's in vacation or somethin'.
He might be too lazy. After all, he ditched this piece two movements in :P
He didn't even finish this, I think he got married
He's been at his beach house on death island for too long. We have to bring him back onto the mainland!
how long hav you been waiting for....
touch of genius. words can't describe music of this sort
See, I was just wondering though some Minecraft role play animatics and stumbled upon this. I guess that’s the strangest way to be introduced to a masterpiece
Got here from 'Minority Report'. which is now free on youtube.
"My unfinished symphony! Forever unfinished!"
Got here from VCCV English Utau Tutorial
i actually thought the minecraft roleplay thing is a reference to this piece, like it's being played in the background or something lol

Surprisingly, the 2nd mvt got stuck to my brain pretty easily. Normally when I listen to slow movements like these, I forget them. Man, Schubert really was something else if he's able to get a melody into my brain in just one listen.
I cant stop listen it. Its like a drug.
you true
Musik ist fabelhaft! Besonders freut mich die Lautstärke. Nicht alle haben die besten Ohren, da Hörgeschädigt. Danke an den Hochlader.
Music is great! Particularly glad I am about the volume. Not everybody has good ears because of hearing difficulties. Thanks to the uploader.
It is truly awful that any human being should have to suffer in the way this music depicts, yet Schubert has created from his pain something so unutterably beautiful that it can lift me from the most terrible depths to a place that truly touches the divine.

The intensity of this work is gigantic. I cry imagining Schubert's life, his joys and agonies.
Just wanted to say how much I love this recording and the piece in general. It's a little odd that something which is by definition incomplete can seem so perfectly whole. To me, the two movements speak of a turbulent personality finally coming to some form of resolution. I sometimes forget how revolutionary this symphony was for its day and I'd assume that it hailed from the latter part of the 19th century if I didn't know it was composed by Schubert. Thanks for uploading.
This rendition is just marvellous. Thank you for making it public again, I was already getting desperate!!
This symphony sounds so unusual.
So long, Mr. Penguin!
Have a good trip!
Nice to meet you!
Magnifique, j'adore cette symphonie. Interprété ici avec brio
+Reinemichaud Indeed
+Reinemichaud J'adore cette symphonie aussi.
I LOVE the development section of that first movement!! It's one of my all time favorites!! That first movement is very interesting in terms of form though. It's in sonata form, but the modulation in the exposition is to the submediant, which still works, but the development section doesn't keep the same tonic. The recap section modulates to the relative major instead of the parallel major for the second theme. Very interesting and unusual. Still one of my favorite works!! Thanks for the effort and work that went into this video!! I love following the score, because I'm working on getting a music composition degree myself!

Thank you for this. This produces goosebumps over my entire body...One day I will listen to it live, it is one of these things you have to do before you die! plus I love "dancing" to it when alone in the house.. it just inspires me so much. To me it symbolises "the eternal fight of the human spirit", it brings out the fire in my soul..
What a fantastic and gourgious piece of music. Defnitley on the same level as Mozart and Beethoven.
@Franz Liszt A part rien n est plus beau que Bach.
What an absolute masterpiece! Possibly the greatest symphony ever written.
I'm a Bach guy, but I have to admit, Franz could write a good tune. lol
+PointyTailofSatan I like that one haha
fan de Bach ?
YEEES! exactly the same for me :D
Y
Yeeeeees
We are so lucky this day we can listen to so many free music all composed by Schubert, Chopin, Mozart etc etc... Thank God for these music its free and so good.
Miss playing the viola part of this piece
In My Life You may be the first viola player to like their part
I'm a violist and I played this in my high school symphony orchestra. This is in my top three favorites along with Dvorak's New World Symphony and Phantom of the Opera (I never turned in any of the music after the concert)
I'm a violist in it now. Yeah, we've got a pretty boring part, but there's some fun sections. And we get to be right next to the cellists
@@mintbrownieangelfish-6114 It's always nice to be next to the cellists. Real social and friendly people. Plus the instrument sounds great.
I heard this piece dozens of times. Yet even now, after I blast it on 100% on my headphones, it makes such an impact. Incredible.
Ive played cello for this before... absolutely beautiful
This particular piece is so enchanting , it pictures to myself life with its hardships and struggles , peaceful and tranquil moments. Schubert had concealed this work , perhaps it was to personal .
In form, unfinished, in every other aspect, complete. Franz, immortality is in your genius.
Thank you for this - I love this symphony, and being able to follow the music as it is played is such a treat, instead of a static picture of the composer, or a landscape as with so many other music downloads. xxx
Esto... simplemente, me hace amar cada vez más y más la música; y la oportunidad que tengo de poder interpretar esta pieza me resulta muy emocionante. Soy violín 2, pero de todos modos se tiene que tener bastante disciplina, constancia y de hecho amor a la música para interpretarla, cualquier persona que solo toca por tocar ve las partituras de reojo y piensa 'No, esto es demasiado complicado para mi, tengo flojera, no ni que fuera tan emocionante.' Amo el hecho de que me hayan dado la oportunidad de tocar esto y no me rendiré hasta que me salga lo mejor posible. Excelente pieza, muy hermosa y con sentimiento. A veces pienso ¿Que habrá pasado por la cabeza de los compositores para hacer semejante creación? Son personas realmente admirables, lástima que esta sea la Sinfonía Inconclusa.
Repito, hermosa pieza.
I loved playing the first clarinet part for this back in high school. Such a beautiful piece
Great comments on why this symphony is called The Unfinished.
Interesting and informative.
The truth is out there.
there literally is no comment that says otherwise
@@ChrisM-qo1jc There are a whole crap ton of memes and actually theories at the top of the comments section m8
GORGEOUS. I played this on tour with my youth orchestra and I miss it so much. Such an amazing cello part. Thank you Schubert
My favorite piece of music ever written 14:52
I heard Schubert's Unfinished for the first time in early 1970's on Australian Broadcast- ing Corporation's Asia Pacific broadcast and ever since I have been mesmerised by the subtle beauty of the piece. Schubert like Beethoven was a student of Haydn and in this piece the slow, soft and moving refrain has the beauty of Haydn and in the other vigorous sections shows the modern and strong Beethovenesque style. In a way, this piece represents the blending and inter-twining of two styles, one of the Romantic period with its emphasis on beauty and the other of the Modern period with emphasis on subjective expression of the vagaries and highs and lows of human emotions. This piece ends bringing a contentment of a great piece well-concluded without leaving any craving that a great "unfinished" piece should cause. A Schubertian all-time gem !
Does it not feel like going through a snowy blizzard?
This is a fabulous interpretation.
Today is January 31, Schubert's birthday, so I have come again to this amazing work of pure genius.
Thank you for putting up the sheet music it is nice to read along
I never heard Sawallisch perform with such passion and commitment. Clearly this music meant something special to him .
So wonderful!!! Great performance!! Thank you!!
So wunderbare Melodien hat der Wiener Komponist Franz Schubert zu Papier gebracht - herzaufwühlend. Schön!
Such wonderful melodies were put on paper by the Viennese composer Franz Schubert - stirring up your heart. Awsome!
Girl: Come over
Schubert: I Can't, i have to finish my 8th Symphony
Girl: My parent's aren't home
* The tittle*
Except Schubert was a probably a homosexual.
That's enough dank memes for today.
Assai96 he slept with a woman that was not his wife or girlfriend and got an STD. what does that make him?
not a homosexual i guess?
I barley saw the post
Спасибо тебе автор канала за то что даёшь слушать музыку вместе с нотами!!!
I got introduced to classical mainly through symphonic metal, X Japan's Art of Life lead me to this one, since it's based off it. Some of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard.
None music genre will EVER beat the pieces of these geniuses.
Great piece. Trying to think which film I have seen with this in and now I remember = Minority Report!
Minority report, and maybe even Smurfs :D Gargamel's theme :D
The first movement was part of the background music of a silent movie of the 1920s, but I can't remember the name of it!

@@JBrandeis1 phantom of the opera
Many thanks for this post. I did not have a recording of this piece and really liked the interpretation and sound in this clip, so I chose this particular recording by Sawallisch, to get on CD.
I, as a mere lover of classical music (with few exceptions), have felt and thought for decades that Schubert knew in all his faculties that it would be utterly pointless and even detrimental to add anything to these two sublime studies of life's tribulations and divine rescue into renewed bliss. Bespeaks of this...
8:42 - 9:27 is my absolute favorite spot when we go over it during rehearsal, it just sounds so good
definitively a masterpiece!
Schubert war ein IN-SICH zerissener Mann und das fühlt man in/mit jeder Note dieses einmaligen Meisterstücks. Das ist kein Stück, welches man sich an einem gemütlichen Abend "gönnt". Ich höre mir dieses beispiellose Zerwürfnis nur mit der Pistole im Mund an. Na, ob ich wohl noch ... auf zum DeLorean. Ich bin so ein toller, individueller und charmanter Kerl, ich geb mir gleich mal nen Top-Daumen - vielleicht kommt der später noch zum Einsatz.
I used to listen to this beautiful symphony while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the most holy rosary of the blessed virgin Mary. The arrangement seems to fit in an exact order of those meditations from beginning to end. There is a thread of mutual love woven throughout the piece akin to the mutual love expressed in the mysteries.
I feel the unfinished ending is appropriate for the mutual love itself is unfinished, without an end.
+Easy Moss Nice name and nice comment
+Easy Moss that's a very interesting interpretation. thank you.
At the beginning I hearing that phase: “Kyrie eleison, eleison..”
Fabulous symphony, once even studying or thinking we must stop to listen.Marvelous notes.
"Why should the composer be more guilty than the poet who warms to fantasy by a strange flame, making an idea that inspires him the subject of his own very different treatment?" ~ Franz Schubert
So accept perfection, a fleeting sunrise. Elogiac melodies bounce between a emotional balance of peace and some kind pastoral landscape in Schuberts challenges. This was therapy for him

Innigkeiten, eine unstillbare, endlose Melancholie, ein leises Abschiednehmen - ein zweisätziges Meisterwerk...
I swear I heard this piece in my dream before!
Came here to listen this because someone rejected to goto the prom with me. This piece induce the realization of the insignificance of such an event as compared to great music.
Good story, I learned that I can actually hum this whole entire song. Its amazing, because in math class, it really helps when you are taking the longest test ever!
The first movement is amazing. The second movement even better. Peak Schubert.
Wow, recorded in the deepest, darkest days of the Cold War in Communist Germany! I have a "Freischuetz" that was recorded in Dresden under communism that is excellent as well!
+Jeffrey Morrissey That Freischütz is not only excellent, it's probably the best ever put on record. I have seen the Opera performed many times and it never came even close to what Kleiber accomplished. So my relationship to the work is kind of tainted. Because I never hear others to rise to that level again.
@@Quotenwagnerianer Care to share the recording? Is it available somewhere?
Hermosa obra. De magistral sencillez, exquisitas y delicadas ideas. Un juego entre diferentes tesituras de instrumentos, y súbitos cambios de temperamento. Como cuando de repente te embarga una idea poderosa que te quita el sosiego, pero, después, vuelve, como una mágica forma, la paz. Una obra inmortal.
I will always associate this music with those old "Smurfs" cartoons where it has been used as background music for dramatic scenes :) There's nothing better for kids to learn some classic music through watching cartoons ;) Disney did that a lot back then with their "Silly Symphonies" too.
You'll also find a lot of classical music in Tom & Jerry
Yes, when Smurfs cried «Gargamel!!!» ':)
I just realized how much Bruckner must have loved this piece.
