Yeah, it's hard to take anything in this article seriously when you're one line into it and the premise:

"Of the well-known composers of the 19th century, Fryderyk Chopin is the only one whose complete works continue to be played regularly"

...is incorrect. There's not a single composer whose "complete works" get regularly played, and even given Chopin's fairly small catalog (for a major 19th century composer) there are plenty of marginal works that rarely get performed. Considering his long and respected career as a music critic and author, I'm kind of surprised to see Terry Teachout's byline on this.

I mean amongst the list of composers publishing in the 19th Century are Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Liszt, Schumann, Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Ravel to name a few(!)

It's a bit hard to take a critic seriously when they're capable of forgetting facts like this...
