СКАЧАТЬ attention to the marvels of Schubert’s songs by playing them in his matchless way on the piano. Seeing how they moved audiences, the singers then took them up, and more and more convinced the world that among song writers Schubert was indeed king.

      It is one of the strangest facts in musical history that the great masters who came before Schubert – while some of them (Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven) wrote a considerable number of songs – reserved their best inspirations for their operas, symphonies, and sonatas.

Rubinstein considered his short pieces for piano even more marvelous than his songs, and among his symphonies there are two (the “Unfinished,” in two movements, and the ninth) that are as popular with high-class audiences as the best of Beethoven’s, which they even surpass in richness and novelty of orchestral coloring and in variety and novelty of modulation, while their melodic charm is as great as that of his songs.
