What is Schubert - the Final Years about?

"What is there new to be said about Schubert? John Reed has a great deal to say and in this important book he puts forward some theories concerning Schubert's later works which give a significant angle to the development of the composer during his final years. A major discovery regarding the composition of the great C major Symphony throws fresh light on the controversial question of Schubert's later works and also provides a new insight into the composer's personality. Schubert has been thought of as one of the most striking and puzzling cases of genius unrecognized during the nineteenth century and the reasons for this have caused speculation. This question is also considered and together with the weight of evidence offered, an impressively accurate portrait of the composer is revealed. This book gives a lucid and closely-argued re-assessment of Schubert's last years." --Dust jacket
