Today, Schubert's sonata is a vagabond piece that's been adopted by everyone.

There needs to be a concert like this. We have an extraordinary trombone section (in the Utah Symphony), and NOVA needs to feature sections, as well as individual players.

The language of the pieces from this year is totally different than before. His earlier works stand in the shadow of Mozart and Beethoven, but with works like the 'Death and the Maiden' quartet, Schubert frees himself from Beethoven's influence and writes pieces that are original.

This is a great collection of colleagues.

I decided to focus on 1824 because that's a very special year for (Schubert). It's a turning point in his output.

This question of partnering is something we've now aggressively adopted, ... but perhaps we could have moved on that piece a little bit earlier.
