A rewarding
extension to the
repertoire Friedrich
Schneider, remembered in
the music world almost
entirely through his
oratorio Das Weltgericht
(The Last Judgment),
bequeathed at his death
in 1853 an oeuvre of over
1000 works, among them 23
symphonies. Breitkopf &
Hartel, whose association
with Schneider began as
early as 1805, is now
publishing for the first
time an edition of his
Symphony No. 16. The
symphony composed in 1818
is impressive proof that
outside of Vienna the
romantic symphony was
also developing then. To
this day Schneider's
extensive symphonic works
are almost completely
unknown. Inviting us to
rediscover him, the work
offers a welcome and
valuable repertoire
extension in the realm of
the early romantic
symphony.A contemporary
of Beethoven, Schneider's
soundworld is not a
million miles away from
the great man's. He is on
frisky form in his 16th
symphony. (Jeremy Pound,
