  “Birth of a Divinity“ (1960)  

            Salvador Dali

                  ______

during the third evening of recitals, the 

program, to my surprise, starts with a 

work even earlier than the earliest 

one we’ve heard yet in this 

Schubertiade, his D 568, his Seventh

Schubert’s Piano Sonata No. 4 in 

A minor, D 537, was written when 

he was seventeen, he would’ve 

been, and was, steeped in Mozart, 

music to amuse musical coteries

but at the start of the second movement,

I heard an air I’d heard somewhere

before, it turned out to be the seed of

a magical part in one of his later

transcendental pieces

Schubert was already imbued with his 

divinity, see above, you can hear it,
