- Well I took a quick scan through this one. I think 'trivialises' would
- be over complimentary.
-
- As an example - I quote more or less exactly - Robert Schumann.
-
- I particularly love Schumann's piano music and his cello concerto (one
- of his weakest conpositions IMO) which my good friend Yo Yo Ma
