It was composed between 1825 and 1826 after the "Unfinished" symphony, and was written a few years before Schubert's death.In December 1828, Schubert's first performance in Vienna was rejected because it was "too long" (Schubert died on November 19 of the same year), but in 1839, Schumann found the score of "Great" among Schubert's belongings, and was overwhelmed by its splendor, He recommended it to Mendelssohn, and on March 21, 1839, it was premiered in Leipzig by the Gewandhaus Orchestra under Mendelssohn's direction. This is a great work that truly deserves the name "Great," with its colorful and thick orchestration, flowing melody, and magnificent sound. Luisi also carefully presented the famous horn phrases at the beginning of the piece, theme by theme, and the overwhelming finale was performed with clarity and dignity. King International
