' QCHUBERT has produced model songs,'
Richard Wagner said on one occasion, ' but that is no reason for us to accept his pianoforte sonatas or his ensemble pieces as really solid work, no more than we need accept Weber's songs, his pianoforte quartet or the trio with a fluto because of his wonderful operas. Schumann's enthusiasm for Schubert's trios and the like was a mystery to Mendelssohn. I remember Mendelssohn speaking to me of the note of Viennese bonhomie which runs through those things of Schubert's. Curiously enough, Liszt still likes to play Schubert. I cannot account for it; that Divertissement a ]a Hongroise verges on triviality, no matter how it is played.'
