Duets by Schubert
SHORT programme of Schubert’s piano music for four hands from 4YC recently whetted the appetite without satisfying it. We were given "Life Storms," Andantino Varie and the three Opus 51 military marches-an all too brief sample of this strangely neglected branch of Schubert’s composition. I have read that his "Divertissement a la Hon-
groise" was once the most popular of Schubert’s duets; I have not heard it; nor the Grand Duo; nor the F Minor Fantasy, a reputedly beautiful work which is doomed to remain in the realms of personal fantasy until the NZBS resurrects it from its library of forgotten treasures, or invests in longplaying equipment, since this at least has been recorded on L.P. records. It is to be hoped that 4YC possesses more of Schubert’s duets than it has hitherta allowed us to hear, or, failing this, that it makes strenuous efforts to acquire some more. :
