Summary: "Symphonies in C" Three Symphonies in the key of C Major by Haydn, Schubert and Bizet. Schubert’s “little” C Major is a transitional symphony, moving from Haydn’s formulaic classical style (as exemplified by his 97th) to the more romantic-sounding latter Schubert symphonies. As for the symphony by a 17 tear-old Bizet, it is composed in the French vein, clearly influenced by Gounod’s “little symphony” in D and nowhere as ominous as the ones that will be written by the likes of Saint-Saens and Franck in the latter part of the 1800s.
