    12. The mystery of the 'Unfinished' Symphony

    Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony only came to light more than three decades after the composer’s death when an old man claimed he had a work that Schubert had sent him 43 years earlier. Some believe the symphony’s missing fourth movement is actually the Entr’acte from Schubert’s incidental music to the play, Rosamunde.
