Franz Schubert was a musical Peter Pan, who never got the chance to grow old. By contrast, Richard Strauss (pictured) lived well into his 80s. In today's show, a musical snapshot of each man as he came of age. We'll hear Schubert's Symphony No. 3 from Paris, and Richard Strauss' Serenade for 13 Wind Instruments from the Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont, both written when the composers were 18.
