And while some of his operas have begun to be reappraised in our time, they’re still far from being standard repertory. Schubert wrote no concertos and very few display pieces in any form as a pianist he was more than competent but no virtuoso. But – and granted the range of his success isn’t as stupefyingly broad as Mozart’s – I’d like to suggest that the achievement of Franz Peter Schubert is every bit as prodigious. Read the words ‘musical prodigy’ and which name comes to mind? Ten to one you’re already thinking of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: composer of his first symphony at the age of eight and his first opera at 11, performing at the Court of Louis XV at seven, and going on to enrich just about every important musical genre with significant masterpieces before dying at the obscenely early age of 35.
