2. Schu-be-do-be-do.
Loves me some Schubert. Wait, isn't that some type of ice cream?

I'm a big fan of the classics. In fact, listening to Bach Concerto for 2 violins in Dm right now...

4. Speaking of violins...

5. No, the eighth was Schubert's unfinished symphony
He didn't write a seventh symphony. Just a rough draft that is too sparse to perform. (But it's a masterpiece, apparently!)

8. He didn't finish it, but others have filled in the blanks.
The first 110 bars was completed and then nothing but a single staff line afterwards. It is being performed by a select few orchestras.
