Although audiences went wild at the 1813 premiere of Beethoven's Seventh, the critics hated it. One sniped that Beethoven must have composed it while drunk; another called him "ripe for the madhouse." Composed five years later, Schubert's Sixth wears its Beethovenian heart proudly on its sleeve while speaking a language all its own.
