203 Symphony No.8 ('Unfinished')
Schubert

Up 74 places for the 3rd of Schubert's 7 entries. Highest position since 2001.

Schubert had some six years of his life remaining after he started working on the piece, but he never completed it. One theory, still argued over today, is that the missing fourth movement is alive and well — known now as the Entr'acte from Schubert's incidental music to the play Rosamunde.
