On this day 190 year ago, he was born. This article linked below is interesting. It elucidates why he was so self critical to his own works, even though his poignant criticism toward his own compositions in young days may reflect his character. It took him decades to complete his 1st symphony and to compose his 1st piano trio from the draft, even though the latter sounds great iteself.
On the way from shopping today, on my car, I happened to run the recording of his 1st string sextet. I felt again thankful to him. He has filled my music experiences with such a joy throughout my life.
