Bill Strother writes of Schubert:

>But I love him as one does a sweet child.  Mozart is an unbelievable
>human, and Beethoven is a giant.

A sweet child? Good grief!!!!  This is the master who set out to set German
poetry to music and wrote some of the greatest songs ever.  Winterreise was
not produced by a sweet child.  The octet, the cello quintet, the piano
sonatas were not produced by a sweet child.
