1828 年舒伯特寫下「第九號交響曲」之後於維也納病逝。同年孟德爾頌根據歌德兩首短詩，寫下他的第四首序曲《平靜的海與快樂的航行》。而最年幼的舒曼，有一次在維也納拜訪了舒伯特的哥哥費迪南．舒伯特，費迪南給他看了幾首舒伯特的遺作。舒曼當即看中了C 大調第九號交響曲，並決定讓它重見天日。1839 年3 月21 日這部作品在孟德爾頌的指揮下在萊比錫首演。這三位浪漫樂派的大師，在舒伯特《偉大》的牽引下，竟然齊聚一堂。

In 1828, Franz Schubert passed away in Vienna after finishing “Symphony No.9”（also known as “The Great”）. Later that same year, Felix Mendelssohn composed his forth overture “Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage”. After meeting Schubert's brother, Ferdinand, Robert Schumann, youngest of the three composers in this program, was shown some of Schubert's posthumous works; he immediately decided to revitalize “The Great” and share it with the rest of the world. On March 21st, 1839, “The Great” premiered in Leipzig under the baton of Mendelssohn. That night, three of the greatest composers of the romantic era came together as one in “The Great”.
