When Schubert composed his unfinished Symphony No. 8, he was at a turning point in his career. Elgar found himself in a similar situation, for different reasons, when writing his Cello Concerto. In his Symphony No. 8 (1822), Schubert seeks to conquer this major form while distancing himself from the Beethovenian model. He stopped at the start of the Scherzo, as he felt he was not achieving the high standard of the previous sections of the score. However, the first two movements, punctuated with dazzling moments which are as striking as they are unexpected, are sufficient to make this symphony an accomplished work. In 1918, the Allied victory stimulated Elgar’s creative juices and he wrote several major scores. His Concerto for Cello, which is by turns melancholic, vehement and mischievous, has earned a reputation as one of the core twentieth-century works for cello.
