ooabsurd to call for comment to-day, but as regards the first part of hiscriticism I do not hesitate to say that, greatly as I esteem Schubertssongs, I value his instrumental works even more highly. Were all of hiscompositions to be destroyed but two, I should say, Save the last twosymphonies. Fortunately we are not confronted by any such necessity. The loss ofSchuberts pianoforte pieces and songs would indeed be irreparable.
