It's a burden all music snobs must carry, I include myself in this too.

I heard the news on the way home earlier. Such an unassuming man for all that talent.

Agreed. We have a Lizard King here too and he's quite good at poetry as well.Hardly anything can beat The Doors...maybe only more of The Doors

The passage starting at 2:30 has often been referred to as a musical "nervous breakdown". Actually the whole Sonata is one of the most astonishing pieces of music ever written - keys all over the place, foreshadowing Schumann and even late 19th/early 20th century composers.

Indeed. From 3.08 to 4.04 things get rather musically frantic. Never heard it before or much of Schubert for that matter other than his well-known serenade and maybe a couple more pieces.
Have you heard Shostakovich's String Q. 8? I have mentioned it on here before but can't recall if it was you or someone else I spoke to about it.

Have only listened to his String Q. 1-4 so far. Here's Schubert's complete sonata in A major played by Pollini. Unfortunately my favourite recording of this sonata by Paul Lewis is not on YouTube - but Pollini is superb.
