Book Review.
A recent book about Schubert coming back to finish his unfinished symphony, entitled -
'Sleeping with Schubert' by Bonnie Marson.
It looks quite interesting even though it is fictional. http://www.bookpage.com/0408bp/fiction/schubert.html
We all have a sense that there is an incompleteness in certain composers oeuvre.
This is glaringly so with a tragic figure like Schubert of course.
Are there other composers that correspondents here would like to return to life to finish their unfinished works?? It goes without saying that everyone's first choice will be Beethoven!
I would like to have seen Beethoven finish the Opera, Vestas Feuer. I believe that the first act was completed and wonder whether it has ever been recorded.
