One of the more often mentioned people on Liederabend is not a composer, a poet, a singer or a pianist. In fact, I don't ever mention his name but I do use his surname initial, D, followed by some numbers. Today, it is the very first time I write his full name, Otto Erich Deutsch. We owe Deutsch the first comprehensive compilation of Franz Schubert's works, a catalogue taken as a reference. Like all the people who systematised information at that time (not long ago) when computers didn't exist, Otto Deutsch deserves my admiration and respect. I might even feel a little envious, I'd love to know his working method and his sorting system, I guess he used index cards. Order and beauty, do you remember? Otto Deutsch and his colleagues dedicated themselves to bring order to beauty.
