Yes, and yes again: Schubert. Mozart also had a future, obviously. But
Schubert is the one. Grillparzer was the one who composed the epitaph:
Here lies a great artist, and even fairer hopes.
Had Schubert lived and worked another twenty years I believe the entire
course of music would have been different.
