Schubert’s music inspired admiration, wonder, and a sense of genius that reached beyond his own time. Through the words of fellow composers, we glimpse something of the extraordinary place his music came to occupy in the musical imagination.
"A spark of heavenly fire" - L. Beethoven
"But he plays in such a region, at such a height, to which the others are far short of raising themselves" - J. Brahms
"In originality of harmony and modulation, and in his gift of orchestral colouring, Schubert has had no superior" - A. Dvorak
"Schubert's music is a world in itself, depth and an indescribable charm" - R. Schumann
