To my shame, I have to say I only really know Schubert's last two symphonies, but then they are two of the most wonderful pieces ever written.
The second symphony could be dismissed as a rather conventional work, but considering it is the work of a teenager, it would be unfair to criticise it too much, but better to focus on the fine opening movement and the assured way the young man uses the orchestra throughout.
