more recently, british musicologists gerald abraham and brian newbould have also offered completions of the symphony (scherzo and finale) using schubert's scherzo sketch and the extended b minor "entr'acte" from his incidental music to the play "rosamunde" schubert wrote a few months later, long suspected by some musicologists as originally intended as the "unfinished"s finale. (in fact, it was even played as the finale as long ago as the british premiere of the symphony on 6 april 1867.) its first movement, the scherzo sketch and the "entr'acte" are all in b minor, their instrumentation is the same, and the "entr'acte" (like the first movement) is in sonata form (as are all schubert's symphonic finales) and in a very similar style and mood. if the "entr'acte" indeed started life as the finale of this symphony, then schubert evidently recycled it (probably at that stage unorchestrated) from the symphony to the incidental music, presumably orchestrating it for the play and perhaps making compositional changes.
