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.
