Despite his short life, Schubert left behind a vast oeuvre, including more than 600 secular vocal works (mainly lieder), seven complete symphonies, sacred music, operas, incidental music, and a large body of piano and chamber music. His major works include the art songs Erlkönig, Gretchen am Spinnrade, Ave Maria; the Trout Quintet, the unfinished Symphony No. 8 in B minor, the "Great" Symphony No. 9 in C major, the String Quartet No. 14 "Death and the Maiden", a String Quintet, the two sets of Impromptus for solo piano, the three last piano sonatas, the Fantasia in F minor for piano four hands, the opera Fierrabras, the incidental music to the play Rosamunde, and the song cycles Die schöne Müllerin, Winterreise and Schwanengesang.
Born in the Himmelpfortgrund suburb of Vienna, Schubert showed uncommon gifts for music from an early age. His father gave him his first violin lessons and his elder brother gave him piano lessons, but Schubert soon exceeded their abilities. In 1808, at the age of eleven, he became a pupil at the Stadtkonvikt school, where he became acquainted with the orchestral music of Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven. He left the Stadtkonvikt at the end of 1813 and returned home to live with his father, where he began studying to become a schoolteacher. Despite this, he continued his studies in composition with Antonio Salieri and still composed prolifically. In 1821, Schubert was admitted to the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde as a performing member, which helped establish his name among the Viennese citizenry. He gave a concert of his works to critical acclaim in March 1828, the only time he did so in his career. He died eight months later at the age of 31, the cause officially attributed to typhoid fever, but believed by some historians to be syphilis.
Appreciation of Schubert's music while he was alive was limited to a relatively small circle of admirers in Vienna, but interest in his work increased greatly in the decades following his death. Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms and other 19th-century composers discovered and championed his works. Today, Schubert is ranked among the greatest composers in the history of Western classical music and his work continues to be admired and widely performed.

… as a German Biologist –
It is never about “Age”
It is about WHAT
Do you live to your talents and abilities
What do you value most
What do you contribute
Franz Schubert
self Titanicked
with horrible Syphilis
28 years young
Listen to any of the Music he composed
Mostly in PAIN and destitute
Ignored…

Je crois que ce morceau restera un de mes préférés pour toujours, je me souviens il y a des années maintenant, ma mère m’avait montré cette vidéo, et c’est le jour ou je lui est avouée mon envie de faire du violon… Ma mère ma soutenue et à réussie a me trouver une professeur environ 2 ans après malgré nos soucis financiers…
Bref ça va faire maintenant environ 6 ans que j’en fais et j’aurais toujours de la gratitude pour ma mère et une adoration de cette vidéo ❤

One year ago, my mum was dying from a lung cancer. On the last day, I put this song in the hope she could feel better and in peace. I remember a few weeks before, we heard this amazing song together. She wanted me to record it for her. Now it has become the deepest memory of her I have. Life is short, unexpected and not as serious as we present it. I think we all make a mistake to take to seriously our power and life. It will all go with the wind.
