Is Hugo Wolf one of the world's greatest song-writers, or is this an over-estimate?
There are those among the most eminent musicians in this country, whose valuations of Wolf are almost as opposite as pole to pole.
It is at any rate safe to say that so far we in England know far too little of his songs. In a short life-time (1860-1903) he wrote over two hundred and fifty songs. His choice of poems covered a wide range, and throughout this range he showed extraordinary powers of characterization.
