Abstract
Abstract Schubert’s Overture in C major, ‘In the Italian Style’, is the larger of the two works which he wrote when seized by the Rossini fever which devastated Europe in the early nineteenth century. If, in a recent Reid Concert, Schubert’s D major Overture had been exchanged for that of Rossini’s Tancredi, I am not sure that I as a listener should have known the difference. Tancredi is far from the cheekiest of Rossini’s overtures; and Schubert lacks aplomb in his first effort to cock an Italian snook.
