I’m exploring the shift to his mature style from his juvenile style. This should keep me going until I get too sleepy to continue.

When I get to the symphonies, I’ll juxtapose a movement from one of the juvenile symphonies (1 thru 6, 6.1, 6.2, 7) with a movement from one of the mature symphonies (8 thru 10).

The Magic Harp was a bad play, staged badly with bad singing and bad acting. It closed after a week and was mercifully forgotten. Leonard Pinth-Garnell would have reviewed it under the title Bad Theater. The only thing that caught peoples attention was the incidental music that Schubert wrote for it. One reviewer understood the problem: What a pity that Schuberts wonderfully beautiful music had not found a worthier subject!
Like Handel, Schubert had no problem recycling his music, and this overture later appeared with the incidental music for Rosemunde, Princess of Cyprus, another disastrous play by an untalented playwright, but with better music from Schubert.
Its in sonatina format, which means that there is no development section, but repetition of the exposition with the key relationships one would expect from a sonata movement. The order is introduction (C minor), first subject (C Major), second subject (G Major), first subject (C Major), second subject (C Major), coda (C Major).

More than anything else, Schubert wanted to be the German Rossini. In the end, it would be Wagner, not Schubert, who would reform German opera. Frannie had terrible taste in picking books, and he picked one loser after another. But more importantly, his talent was writing songs, not opera. In writing his operas, he would back himself into musical corners from which he would have extricated himself elegantly in his song writing.
Fierrabras was a look at Charlemagnes sons, something that was better done in the Seventies with Pippin on Broadway. The book was written by Joseph Kupelweiser, brother of the theater owner, which is how it got Schuberts attention. Like Mozarts Magic Flute, its a singspiel, a play with spoken dialog interspersed with songs. In other words, its like an American musical. But the dialog is the kind of material that Gilbert & Sullivan made fun of.
What went wrong was that Kupelweiser and Schubert thought that they were writing a historical dramatic opera. In fact they were writing a high adventure comedy like Raiders of the Lost Ark, but they didnt know it. To successfully stage the opera today, one would need to hire the Raiders team of Katz and Huyck to rewrite the spoken dialog.
The opera received its first full staging in Philadelphia in 1978 at the Walnut Street Theater, the oldest operating theater in America. But normal people couldnt get tickets because every college music professor in the world had beaten a path to the ticket office first.
Its a frustrating experience. The overture is in his mature style. But as soon as the opening chorus begins, Schubert reverts to his juvenile style and only strays from it a few times. One is a blood-and-thunder mezzo soprano aria that borders on plagiarizing Mozart, and a chorus that borders on plagiarizing Beethoven. The basic format is chorus, some action, trot the chorus on stage to comment on the action, rinse and repeat.
The overture begins with tremelo string figures that presage his final string quartet. The horns pick up the tune of the chorus that sounds like Beethoven. Introduction complete, the first subject sounds a bit like Weber. The second subject is more like Schubert. This time there is a brief development section. The recap is in the expected keys. The coda is based on the first subject.

Schuberts juvenile quartets were all written for the family circle. From his brothers he could fill out a quartet if he played viola.
His primary influence was Haydn, who could compose wonderful musical jokes in his 87 string quartets. In this scherzo from a teenage quartet, Schubert writes a theme for pogo stick and quartet, complete with an irrelevant note at the rest. Its good fun.
