I didn't mention my suggestion of reviving the House Committee on Un-American Activities or President Trump's coming website, www.denounceyourneighbor.com. Discretion is the better part of valor.

Schubert was rescued from the drudgery of a life as a schoolteacher at his fathers school. Daddy Schubert was a monster, always informing on his neighbors to the secret police of the Austrian police state under Metternich. The rescuer was Johann Mayrhofer, one of the great German poets of his era. He offered to share an apartment with Frannie, and because Jack Mayrhofer was a censor working in an imperial office censoring books and plays, Daddy thought he would make a good socially conservative roommate for his son. What Daddy didnt know was that Jack was gay. Jack was always giving Frannie an education in Greek mythology and behavior, introducing him to homoerotic undertones in current German poetry and possibly teaching his boy other things best left unmentioned. Eventually, Frannie got tired of Jacks poking and probing at night and left the apartment for rooms with Franz von Schober.
Schober could be best described as omni-sexual, in that a ripe melon would not have been safe in his presence. He never married, tried many careers and failed at all of them, and spent a lot of other peoples money. He had a gift of getting other people into trouble, but when the bill came due, he was always on the other side of town. He played a critical role in Schuberts death at age 31, but he managed to live to the ripe old age of 86, dying surrounded by mourning great-nieces and great-nephews who thought the world of him.
Schober was a poet, but third rate. His poetry survives only because Schubert wrote such ravishing melodies for them. It was the love of poetry that attracted Frannie to Schober, along with the fact that Schober was dangerous. It was a moth-and-flame situation. One of Schuberts failed operas, Alfonso and Estrella, had Schober writing the book.
Schober liked sex with women, sex with men, and smoking opium, although its hard to discern which order he preferred. Getting Frannie free from Jack Mayrhofer, Schober took him out for a night on the town, finishing up at a bordello with a liberal dose of smoked opium and eventually a case of syphilis. This was the Sword of Damocles that hung over Schuberts head for next six years of his life until secondary syphilis and typhoid finished him off at age 31. This was why Frannie made such a quantum leap in his music.
This mature symphony was left unfinished because Schubert lost the thread after the second movement. A partial third movement, a scherzo, was discovered in 1969, and it reverts to his juvenile style.
This is the first movement, and it sounds nothing like Schuberts early symphonic material. Its as though it came from a different composer entirely. Although its marked allegro moderato, most conductors take it at a plodding pace. This is a period instrument recording that takes it at a proper pace. It shows a sense of both dread and beauty, and its one of his best known pieces.
Schubert: Symphony #8 in B minor, D. 759, first movement

Good evening, Publius, and thanks for the interesting Schubert stories. ((HUGS)) I’ve always enjoyed listening to the Vienna Boys’ Choir. Is the Vienna Choirboys School the school that trains them?
To: Kathy in Alaska
Yes. It's a very old school, and Schubert's first "instrument" was voice, followed by violin, viola and piano.

This early symphony in his juvenile style was written for the orchestra at the Vienna Choirboys School. The Czech conductor at the school relinquished his baton to Frannie for the performance.
The symphony is reminiscent of Rossini who had conquered Vienna and became Schuberts model for opera. This finale in particular is redolent of Rossini. Its feet never touch the ground.
The coda is built on repetitions, but Schubert doesnt do much with them. They seem intended to fill space. That will change with his last complete symphony.
Schubert: Symphony #3 in D, D. 200, fourth movement
