Schubert understood solitude better than most mortals and made poetry of it. His music speaks to something timeless: the longing for connection and the pain at not finding it.
Living alone and peering at an anxious future, I felt those pieces spoke to me like no others. Immersion in these works has been among the greatest gifts of my life.
The difference between Beethoven and Schubert is profound. Beethoven grabs you by the collar; Schubert leads you by the hand, speaking to the heart more gently.
