Indeed, I don't know.  But your statement seemed to be about Gade in
general.  All the Gade I've heard - all chamber music, including the Octet
(pace, Deryk) - has made so little impression on me, I've not been inclined
to seek out anything else, which may be wonderful but I won't know any time
soon.  In short, the Gade I've heard has been coupled with other music I
really wanted to hear.
