“Schubert,” a man two rows behind us called out. “Who is this composer?” I asked my husband in a hushed voice. All my thoughts fell away even my breath stilled, in order to capture every note. This piece, a classical piano recording, was just stunning, dreamy, and lyrical. Back in those civilized days, they didn’t bombard you with commercials or junky “shows” before the film you got to bask in music. Here was mine: I was in an art-house cinema years back, sitting in the semidarkness with my husband, waiting for the movie to begin. Tell me if this has ever happened to you: you’re out and about when you hear a brief passage of gorgeous classical music, which never gets identified, and it goes on to haunt you. A whiff of my childhood, dusk on a wintery Sunday, when the younger, chilled me has gone inside and Mom’s got a roast cooking in the oven, filling the air with an intoxicating aroma and a sense of security. And then there is the strong, distinctive blue profile: (almost) all of the Urtext editions are bound in the characteristic blue cardboard.Oh, the emotional images Schubert stirs within me. The Urtext editions not only provide the undistorted and authoritative musical text but are also aesthetically pleasing, optimised for practical use and extremely durable.
