[edit] Composition date trivia

String Quintet in C major, D. 956, op. posth. 163, is a piece of chamber music written by Franz Schubert. It was composed shortly after his Ninth Symphony during the summer of 1828, two months before his death

this seems to suggest the 9th was also composed (or at least finished) in '28, whereas the 9th Symphony page suggests it was the 10th that was started/worked on during '28, and the 9th was finished 2 years earlier.. can someone please clarify? Boombaard 20:09, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I didn't even notice the mistake. I've now corrected it. For more information read in the symphony's article. Gidip 18:11, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

On the edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=String_Quintet_%28Schubert%29&diff=30382460&oldid=26418808 : I wonder if there is a reference for this. I found this on the Internet: "Well, I once listened to an interview with Artur Rubinstein, the great pianist, on the radio program Desert Island Discs. He confessed how this String Quintet was the music he'd choose to listen to on his own deathbed." (http://www.6moons.com/worldmusic/casals.html) Funeral is not deathbed, and the work is more than the second movement. Perhaps delete the whole paragraph?
