'We all know that as miniaturist Chopin is impeccable. Far more
interesting is to hear him at work on the larger scale of sonata or
concerto. Schumann had doubts, as others have doubted Schumann. In
both cases I feel no scepticism. The Funeral March of the Second
Sonata began independently before being joined by its companions, and
it has ever since maintained a partly separate existence, to the
extent of being orchestrated by Elgar in the full panoply of late-
Romantic glory. But the wondrous intricacy of the Scherzo gives the
deft Hamelin all the playful scope he needs before settling to the
solemnities of the March.'
