	Franz Schubert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Franz Peter Schubert (January 31, 1797 – November 19, 1828), was an Austrian composer, considered the last master of the Viennese Classical school and one of the earliest proponents of musical Romanticism.
		Schubert was born in the Himmelpfortgrund, a small suburb of Vienna.
		Schubert´s early essay in chamber music is noticeable, since we learn that at the time a regular quartet-party was established at his home "on Sundays and holidays," in which his two brothers played the violin, his father the cello and Franz himself the viola.

		His father, Franz, son of a Moravian peasant, was a parish schoolmaster; his mother, Elizabeth Fitz, had before her marriage been cook in a Viennese family.
		It bears no relation to the style of Schuberts pianoforte music, it is wholly orchestral in character, and it may well be a transcript or sketch of the grand symphony for which the octet was a preparation.
		To Schubert we owe the introduction into music of a particular quality of romance, a particular addition of strangeness to beauty ; and so long as the art remains his place among its supreme masters is undoubtedly assured.

	Schubert, Franz Peter. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Schubert wrote his first symphony in 1813, and in that year he left the Seminary.
		In addition to individual lyrics, such as the famous Erlkönig, set to a ballad by Goethe, Schubert wrote such song cycles as Die schöne Müllerin (1823) and Die Winterreise (1827), both to poems of Wilhelm Müller.
		Schubert’s symphonies are the final extension of the classical sonata forms, and three of them—the Fifth, in B Flat (1816), the Eighth, in B Minor (the Unfinished, 1822), and the Ninth, in C Major (1828)—rank with the finest orchestral music.

		Franz Schubert, the father of the composer, held an appointment as the schoolmaster of Lichtenthal.
		Schubert during his student days was chronically short of pocket money and wrote to his brother Ferdinand: "You know by experience that a fellow would like at times a roll and an apple or two, especially if, after a frugal dinner, he has to wait for a meagre supper for eight hours and a half.
		Schubert was not a virtuoso in the modern sense of the word, but he accompanied his own songs beautifully, keeping the time very strictly, and (in spite of his short, thick fingers), he could play the most difficult of his sonatas, except the Fantasia op.

	Franz Peter Schubert: Master of Song
		Franz Peter Schubert was born into a musical family on January 31, 1797 in Vienna as twelfth child of a schoolmaster, Franz Theodor Schubert (1763-1839), and his wife, Maria Elisabeth Vietz (1756-1812).
		After Schubert returned to his father's house in 1813, he was eager to devote himself entirely to composition, but at his father's insistence, he entered a ten-month training course to become a "school assistant," a subordinate teacher, at an elementary school.
		Schubert so disliked his time spent at elementary teaching, that when he was finally free to compose at the end of the day, he made every minute count.

	Franz Peter Schubert
		Franz Peter Schubert was born in the Lichtenthal district of Vienna on 31 January 1797, the youngest son of a parish schoolmaster and a cook.
		Schubert himself was in denial over his health and made plans to study fugue and counterpoint under Sechter, court organist, when he recovered fully.
		Schubert's music is characterised by a lyricism rich with melodic invention, frequent subtle changes of mood and key, now genial, now suffused with pathos, and of course, frequent quotations from his songs slotted into his instrumental works as clues to their underlying emotive themes (if not as 'trailers' for the songs!).

		Schubert's fame was long limited to that of a songwriter, since the bulk of his large output was not even published, and some not even performed, until the late 19th century.
		Reasons for their abiding popularity rest not only in the direct appeal of Schubert's melody and the general attractiveness of his idiom but also in his unfailing ability to capture musically both the spirit of a poem and much of its external detail.
		Schubert's discovery of Wilhelm Müller's narrative lyrics gave rise to his further development of the lied by means of the song cycle.

		Schubert composed his "Unfinished" symphony when he was twenty-five, when the tragedy of his short, humble and poverty-stricken life was eating into his soul.
		Schubert, after the funeral of Beethoven, whom he adored, drank a toast to the one of his group who should be the next to go.
		Schubert once said, "My music is the product of my genius and my misery, and that which I have written in my greatest distress is that which seems best to the world." But the epitaph, more poignant than any other could possibly be, of this life cut short, is the 'Unfinished" symphony.

		Schubert was born on Jan. 31, 1797, in Vienna.

		The son of a schoolmaster who had settled in Vienna, Franz Schubert was educated as a chorister of the imperial court chapel and later qualified as a schoolteacher, briefly and thereafter intermittently joining his father in the classroom.
		Schubert wrote for mixed voices, male voices and female voices, but by far the most famous of his vocal compositions are the five hundred or so songs, settings of verses ranging from Shakespeare to his friends and contemporaries.
		Of Schubert's various string quartets the Quartet in A minor, with its variations on the well known Rosamunde theme and the Quartet in D minor, Death and the Maiden, with variations on the song of that name, are the most familiar.

	CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES: Schubert Biography
		The songs of Schubert number over 600 and range from his earliest masterpieces, such as Gretchen am Spinnrad and Die Erlkonig to the desolate Wintereisse of his final year, and it might be said that the German lied pervades most of Schubert's music.
		Schubert expanded the sense of musical time with his "heavenly length" (Schumann's remark on his discovery of the Great Symphony #9 in C Major in the closet of Schubert's brother), and he is also one of the first composers to fully explore the possibilities of the lyric miniature.
		Schubert, who is known as one of the greatest melodists, was equally a master of harmonic miracles, creating breathtaking surprises with the imaginative reharmonization of a single note.

		Frequently gathering for domestic evenings of Schubert's music (later called "Schubertiads"), this group more than represented the new phenomenon of an educated, musically aware middle class: it gave him an appreciative audience and influential contacts (notably the Sonnleithners and the baritone J. Vogl), as well as the confidence, in 1818, to break with schoolteaching.
		Schubert's admirers issued 20 of his songs by private subscription, and he and Schober collaborated on "Alfonso und Estrella" (later said to be his favourite opera).
		In 1824 he turned to instrumental forms, producing the A minor and D minor ("Death and the Maiden") string quartets and the lyrically expansive Octet for wind and strings; around this time he at least sketched, probably at Gmunden in summer 1825, the "Great" C major Symphony.

	•• Biography of Franz Peter Schubert - PianoParadise ••
		Franz Peter Schubert (January 31, 1797 - November 19, 1828), Austrian composer, was born in the Himmelpfortgrund, a small suburb of Vienna.
		Schubert's second symphony in B-flat was finished, and a third, in D major, added soon afterwards.
		Schubert is best summed up in the well-known phrase of Liszt, that he was "le musicien le plus poète qui fut jamais." In clarity of style, many judge that he is inferior to Mozart, in power of musical construction far inferior to Beethoven, but in poetic impulse and suggestion he is unsurpassed.

		As Salieri was one of the first composers to add the specific sonority of the Biedermeier period to Viennese church music, it does not wonder that Schubert´s early sacred works are directly linked to his teacher´s church music of these days.
		In December 1814 Schubert made acquaintance with the poet Johann Mayrhofer : an acquaintance which, according to his usual habit, soon ripened into a warm and intimate friendship.
		There continues to be some controversy over the numbering of this symphony, with German-speaking scholars numbering it as symphony No. 7, the revised Deutsch catalog (the standard catalogue of Schubert's works, compiled by Otto Erich Deutsch) listing it as No. 8, and English-speaking scholars listing it as No. 9.
