[Editor's Note: Years ago Robert Reilly wrote a semi-regular column in Crisis Magazine titled "This Just In." We are pleased to announce that Mr. Reilly has decided to revive this column here at Crisis.]I hate the news but am invariably drawn toward it for professional reasons. I alleviate the angst by enjoying the absurdity of so much of it. For instance, within the last week, we learned that more student debt will be “canceled” by the Biden administration.

Franz Schubert’s music is the music of Paradise lost. It is the songful lament of the wanderer who has been banished, yet who must find the difficult way back through suffering and death. It is music of the journey in exile. In terms of his achievement there is only one other composer to whom Franz Schubert can be compared: Mozart. Perhaps not as precocious as Mozart, Schubert was nonetheless already an accomplished composer as a teenager.

Mozart was not like us. The question as to why Mozart died so young is always superseded by: How could he have existed at all? How could you ask more of a miracle?”In 1991, the bicentennial of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s death was the occasion for massive festivals and grand recording projects, as well as reappraisals of his genius and meaning. Decades later, the reappraisals—and the grand recording projects—continue.* Unfortunately, they tell us more about ourselves than they do about Mozart.
