What are you Listening To Right Now? - and more

Possibly. I don't know. I'll take a look at this and report back. I never got around to listening to these disks, having become paranoid about inadvertently wrecking the case.

I'm not familiar with the D numbers which seem to be used to classify Schubert's work. Something else I'll have to take a look at, and which might throw some light on the fragments. My CD case calls them "symphonic fragments". Looking at the case, only 10 symphonies are listed, so it appears that the fragments are indeed the 11th.

Since it seems to be traditional to die after having composed one's 9th symphony, I'm assuming that Schubert tried, and failed, to beat the odds. He probably should have spoken to Mozart, who managed 40+ symphonies, even though he died young.

That would appear to be the case. Looking at the nomenclature at Discogs it would appear that Symphony No 10 was never finished.
Remember that the running order is in the ever annoying record changer format.
