Andrew and/or John, I did some Web searching to see what I could find about this renumbering, and the only thing I could find is that there is no real Schubert 7th, that the original renumbering of "8" and "9" was made to account for a "missing symphony" that was later determined to be the Great C Major. Would this account for this new re-numbering of the latter as the 8th, or has the Unfinished really been determined to have been written last?
Both. Because the "missing" "Gastein symphony" is really the Gt. C, then it follows that this sym. was written before the Unfinished.
And BTW, there really is a 7th sym., in E major. Schubert never finished the orchestration, is all. Several people, starting w. Weingartner, have offered completions of it, and it has even been recorded a few times. IMO it's a very fine symphony and should be much more widely known.
