It's the Schubert..Dvorak's symphonies weren't renumbered till much later. And 
the PT is dubbed from the 78s so side 2 is the last third of the first movement 
and the first third of the second. Dumb dumb dumb, but with only two sides they 
wouldn't have been able to charge as much for it or put it in an album. I've 
seen that set, in an album, go for big bucks..I wouldn't pay fifty cents for 
it. Frankly I wouldn't pay fifty cents for the original on 78s either, since I 
probably have ten copies of it.
