Then it's a coincidental resemblance, I think...

Just wondering whether anyone has encountered this remarkable work for the first time recently...?

Still haven't heard it yet, sorry!

I did..I bought the cd only last October: I have to say that I absolutely love the 1st, it gives me great listening pleasure.
Along with the 5th and 6th, (old numbers) it's my favorite..
I have read very perceptive observations here: yes there's a Schubertian atmosphere, but to me the "misplaced" accents right at the beginning, and a number of other twists, are positively Schumannian. All the same, you discern an individual voice,.. it's a very interesting, memorable and lovable piece..not at all a mean achievement  for an "Erste Studium"!
