Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 8 in B minor, commonly known as the Unfinished, was started in 1822 but left with only two movements complete even though Schubert would live for another six years. Since Schubert's death at the age of 31, the Unfinished Symphony has been a bit of a mystery. Author and musicologist Habakuk Traber discusses research that has shed new light on the composer's original intentions. Daniel Barenboim conducts the Berlin Philharmonic.
