Very interesting review of Graham Johnson's Franz Schubert: The Complete Songs by the fine English tenor and musical scholar Ian Bostridge.

The Winterreise cycle is pretty amazing. Great to listen to on a cold winter's night when you are alone in the house with a cracking fireplace and a bottle of port or Madeira.

Schubert, on the other hand, was under five feet tall, bespectacled, and pudgy, “looking not like a god of music but like a harried Viennese clerk with a head-cold....”

George Costanza.

For my Music History II class, I chose to write a paper on Schubert's Impromptu No. 2 in E-flat major. I loved writing about that piece of music, with its beautiful chromatic melody in triplets.
I got an A+, BTW. :-)

Like Mozart and Chopin, one can only wonder what they would have added to the volume of classical music had they lived longer. My favorite is his “Unfinished” Symphony.
