The first piece, 'Rosamunde Overture,' is music composed in 1823 for the play 'Rosamunde, Queen of Cybele' by the female playwright 'Seji.' It is regarded as the most lyrical piece among Schubert's works. Through its delicate and romantic opening, it is expected to lead the audience into the flowing and lyrical world of classical music.

Finally, Schubert's Symphony No. 4 in C minor D.417 'Tragic' is known as the work that fully established the symphonic form among his compositions. The title 'Tragic' was given due to the unstable and solemn feeling of Schubert's youth, and each movement is imbued with a unique poetic atmosphere.
