Andrew and/or John, I did some Web searching to see what I could find
about this renumbering, and the only thing I could find is that there is
no real Schubert 7th, that the original renumbering of "8" and "9" was
made to account for a "missing symphony" that was later determined to be
the Great C Major. Would this account for this new re-numbering of the
latter as the 8th, or has the Unfinished really been determined to have
been written last?

Among other things I asked (partly just to be provocative) whether by
"Schubert's 9th" was meant the Great C Major or the Unfinished, since
the two have recently changed places--and I attended a concert last
week in which the C Major was performed as Symphony No. 8.
I got that one, Andrew, so it did make it to the list. And yes,
Daniels mentions that after the first six, the numbering is a worse
mess than with Dvorak!
