Franz Schubert's Great C Major Symphony uses the French horns, trombones, and woodwinds to poetic extremes that they had not been used for before. This symphony was not discovered until ten years after Schubert's death in 1828. When Robert Schumann found this piece he was extremely impressed. After listening to the first performance of this piece Schumann described it with a phrase that describes most of Schubert's work, "It bears within the seeds of everlasting youth."
