   "He was also a composer, and anybody who has written about Schnabel
   has pointed out the Schnabelian paradox: that a musician so steeped
   in the classical tradition should have composed such advanced music.
   Schnabel's compositions are abstract, frequently atonal, and difficult
   to grasp."
