454 The Phonograph Monthly Review To Finish Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony—$20,000 in Prizes Offered The year 1928 marks the hundredth annivers- ary of the death of Franz Schubert. Radiogram advices from Vienna, the city of Schubert's birth, announce that plans are already well under way to make the commemoration tribute to the world's most beloved composer the greatest in the annals of music. The Columbia Phonograph Company, sponsors of the recent internationally observed Beethoven Week, have offered prizes, totalling $20,000., including a Grand Prize of $10,000., for the com- pletion of Schubert's immortal Symphony No. 8, in B minor, popularly known as Schubert's Unfinished Symphony." Unfinished as it it, abandoned for some reason now forever unknown, this symphony towers above at least a majority of its completed breth- ren in the beauty of its themes and the stateliness of its form. Sadness and tenderness, hope and grief, all mingle in its seductive measures. <
