| Few Schubert aficionados would argue that his ninth symphony is worthy of the title "Great." The title was provided to set it apart from another of his symphonies, which is likewise in the key of C. (known as the Little C). The composer did mention in a March 1824 letter that he was prepared to create 'a great symphony'.

| | |
| | The melody for the Ave Maria was set by Franz Schubert to texts from Sir Walter Scott's The Lady of the Lake. The phrase 'Ave Maria' did appear in 'Ellen's Third Song,' but only as a reference to the prayer. From Pavarotti to Perry Como, a wide spectrum of musicians have recorded Schubert's melody.[([[https://www.britannica.com/topic/Ave-Maria-song-by-Schubert|Britannica]])] |
