Peter Schickele - "Unbegun" Symphony (1980) (sheet music)

Jorge Mester conducting The Royal PDQ Bach Festival Orchestra

0:00 (Introduction by Peter Schickele)
2:10 III. Minuet
5:37 IV. Andante - Allegro Molto

------------------

The piece is a quodlibet made up of quotations from many other pieces, often in counterpoint with one another. Schickele lists this piece under his own name, rather than P. D. Q. Bach, since it quotes from works which did not exist during P. D. Q. Bach's lifetime.
It is in two movements, numbered 3 and 4. Schickele claims his old friends called it the "Pathetic" Symphony, but then he got a new set of friends who called it the "Unbegun" Symphony.
