The Symphony No. 4 in C minor, D. 417, commonly called the ''Tragic'' ((ドイツ語:Tragische)), was composed by Franz Schubert in April 1816.〔Brown, A. Peter, ''The Symphonic Repertoire'' (Volume 2). Indiana University Press (ISBN 025333487X), pp. 598-603 (2002).〕 It was completed one year after the Third Symphony, when Schubert was 19 years old. However, the work was premiered only on November 19, 1849, in Leipzig, more than two decades after Schubert's death. The title ''Tragic'' is Schubert's own. It was added to the autograph manuscript some time after the work was completed.〔 It is not known exactly why he added the title, but the work is one of only two symphonies (the ''Unfinished'' Symphony is the other) which Schubert wrote in a minor key. The symphony is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in B-flat, 2 bassoons, 4 horns in A-flat, C and E-flat, 2 trumpets in C and E-flat, timpani and strings. The symphony has four movements; a performance lasts around 30 minutes. #Adagio moltoAllegro vivace #Andante in A flat major #Menuetto. Allegro vivaceTrio in E flat major #Allegro : \relative c' The slow introduction is modeled after Haydn's ''The Representation of Chaos'' overture to ''The Creation'' oratorio.〔〔Newbould, Brian, ''Schubert and the Symphony: A New Perspective'', p. 86-109, Toccata Press (1992) ISBN 978-0-907689-27-0〕 The opening theme of the ''Allegro'' of the first movement derives from the opening theme of Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quartet, Op. 18 No. 4 in the same key.〔 The slow movement is in A-B-A-B-A form which would be a favorite form for most of Schubert's remaining symphonic slow movements (the ''Unfinished'' being the only exception).〔 The themes in the B section are not new. They are developed from the ''Allegro'' theme of the first movement and the themes of the A section. The second appearance of B, the third return of A and the beginning of the coda have a sixteenth-note ostinato accompaniment added to help bring cohesiveness to the sections. This was a device that Beethoven had previously used in the slow movements of his Op. 18 No. 1 quartet and his ''Pathetique'' sonata.〔 ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Symphony No. 4 (Schubert)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
