Writing of the chamber music of Friedrich Kiel, the famous scholar and critic Wilhelm Altmann notes that

it was Kiel’s extreme modesty which kept him and his exceptional works from receiving the consideration they deserved. After mentioning Johannes Brahms and others, Altmann writes, “He produced a number of chamber works, which . . . need fear no comparison.”
