| 1037.1 | ELGAR'S 3rd Symphony | HANDVC::STEVELIU | | Tue Mar 25 1997 01:04 | 7 |

from VNS news :
ELGAR'S unfinished Third Symphony, probably the most significant
incomplete British work of the century, is being finished against
his dying wishes by a composer hired by his family.

| Bizet left a large quantity of unfinished compositions. Maybe there is
a career in completing them ?
His publisher did not release his only symphony, written when Bizet was
17, and it was finally performed (and well received) in the 1930's, over
50 years after his death.

If so, that person would not have any time to do anything else. If asked, the
response would be "I'm Two Bizet."

| Schubert left many scraps and sketches. Musicologist Brian Newbould
completed and ochestrated several of them for Neville Marriner's
complete set of Schubert symphonies. I, for one, would DEARLY love for
Schubert to have completed his 10th symphony - the Newbould realization
from Schubert's sketches of the first movement suggests that Schubert
might potentially have been even more daringly innovative than
Beethoven.

I heard this story about Mahler:
Mahler finished his 8th symphony. He wanted to avoid the
write-your-ninth-symphony-and-die syndrome, so while he
conceives of it as a symphony, he writes his next big piece
and names it Das Lied von der Erde. He's still alive, so he
writes the Ninth...and dies, leaving what is called the Tenth
unfinished.

Mahler's 10th sym was indeed completed at least with complete
movements, I think I saw some recording of it, this is a huge
piece of work to complete though.
yes, both Beethoven's and Schubert's 10th sym were also completed.
the former only was completed with the 1st movement by scholar,
Barry Cooper, and the latter was in its entirety.
Incomplete manu-scripts for these 2 10th sym do hint at some
breakthrough will take place. Beethoven's closed friend, Carl ?,
has listened to Beethoven playing the first movement on the piano.
Many believe that the completed manu-script did exist but was
stolen and never come back to light. If it will be ever found, it
will be in the hand of one of the family lines that lived in
Beethoven's time or perhaps being trashed by one of the ignorant
in the family who didn't recognize what it was. I hope it will be
revealed one day.
