Schubert’s 5th Symphony, Simplified and abridged for flexible ensemble by Mark Goddard. This arrangement retains the essence of the great work, yet is easy to play and concise.

Symphony No. 5 in Bb major, D485, was written in 1816. All four movements are particularly bright and tuneful and the scoring of the symphony is light; inspired by the late symphonies of Mozart, whom Schubert idolised.
