The sheer size of Schubert's song output bewildered his friends and contemporaries and it has been perplexing even enthusiastic Schubertians ever since. [...] may know that the final count is six hundred or more, but [...] that figure has somehow discouraged further investigation: one may get to know 9 symphonies, 32 piano sonatas, even 48 preludes and fugues, but the idea of 600 songs, [...], engenders an awe-inspired respect that dampens, rather than fires, enthusiasm.
