But Schumann couldn't write worth a dang for organ (depending on how much you think dangs are worth; he did write some organ pieces, e.g. some fugues on B.A.C.H., and they're...O.K.; but his piano music is where it's at, plus some incredibly stunning orchestral phrases interspersed here and there throughout his stage and dramatic works).
