Schubert and Beethoven. Star and oddity - NOSPR

In the C major Fantasy, the sound of the violin emerges as if from the depths of the piano's background, balancing its garland-like ornaments. It's one of Schubert's ideas that surprises by heading directly towards its goal: building emotional tension. It culminates in variations on his own song but is also present in the lighter sections. That's Schubert all over. 

The perfection of Beethoven's famous Kreutzer Sonata holds a bitter reference to the history of the excluded. Dedicated to the renowned French violinist Rudolphe Kreutzer, it was actually composed for the black musician born in Biała Podlaska, George Polgreen Bridgetower. Well, Kreutzer (who never performed this sonata) was treated like a star, while Bridgetower was seen as an oddity. Today, it's worth remembering him.
