If you haven't heard already, this guy has been ''recently'' (around y. 2000) officially ''upgraded'' and is now on the ''same level'' as Great Beethoven. 

So, if you please, now (as it has ever been) we also have ~ a Great Schubert!

Starting today, BBC's *Composer of the Week* hosts a program about Franz:

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03rh… (1 of 5) Stick around & have a blast; with his humorous wit Herr Donald serves us a few juicy Schuberries!

Naturally, we have mountains of literature to dig through: www.google.com/search?q=schube…;

- as it is, I'll stick with this one: books.google.si/books?id=J-kKU… ~ forgive me Franz, but it's the most fun of the bunch!  

Great Schubert is the ONLY composer for whom there was a very early - indeed - an eternally present historical NEED to not only ''defend'' his proper masculinity (see these bold letters) - 

but also to depict him in act of merry flirting (with a girl) on massively distributed postcards: lovelystamps.ru/19060.jpg ~ Why? Read the book! Well, where's smoke - there's fire!

While he could be self-righteous and obnoxious,  garev.uga.edu/spring10/matter.… ~ this affectionate article might make you think - as well as feel for Schubert ~

a person and human being, a musician ...

So, I suppose, here are a couple of very indirect attempts of criticism as well: www.wrightmusic.net/pdfs/schub…  ... All I can say is: Philip Glass! ... Gregorian chant! ... Beethoven's 3rd!
Via Salieri Schubert, amongst other traits, inherited not only Michael Haydn interest - but also gluckiste inclination. So give it a rest!
