Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Franz Schubert (1797-1828)
Bio
Franz Peter Schubert was born just outside of Vienna. His family was musical but he quickly demonstrated prodigious talent and wrote String Quartets for himself, his father, and his brothers to perform. Salieri discovered him and trained him in composition and vocal performance. He was significantly impacted by Beethoven and on the first anniversary of his death gave his only public concert, Schubert himself died a few months later. He composed over 1500 works and was called, among other things, the King of Song.
