Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 8 in B minor, D 759, commonly known as the Unfinished Symphony (German: Unvollendete), is a musical composition that Schubert started in 1822 but left with only two movements—though he lived for another six years. A scherzo, nearly completed in piano score but with only two pages orchestrated, also survives.

Schubert's Eighth Symphony is sometimes called the first Romantic symphony due to its emphasis on the lyrical impulse within the dramatic structure of Classical sonata form. Furthermore, its orchestration is not solely tailored for functionality, but specific combinations of instrumental timbre that are prophetic of the later Romantic movement.

Schubert's Symphony No. 8 in B minor, “Unfinished”, is probably one of the classical pieces of music that my mother had to endure and listen to for a very long time. As a teenager, I had a cassette tape with Schubert's 8th symphony on one side and his 5th symphony on the other. For a very long time, this was the only music I listened to. I know every note, every harmony, and I still find it very beautiful to listen to. It is timeless.
