Franz Peter Schubert (German pronunciation: [fʁants ʃuːbɛɐ̯t]; January 31, 1797 – November 19, 1828) was an Austrian composer. He wrote some 600 Lieder, nine symphonies (including the famous "Unfinished Symphony"), liturgical music, operas, some incidental music, and a large body of chamber and solo piano music. He is particularly noted for his original melodic and harmonic writing.
Schubert was born into a musical family, and received formal musical training through much of his childhood. While Schubert had a close circle of friends and associates who admired his work (amongst them the prominent singer Johann Michael Vogl), wide appreciation of his music during his lifetime was limited at best. He was never able to secure adequate permanent employment, and for most of his career he relied on the support of friends and family. He made some money from published works, and occasionally gave private musical instruction. In the last year of his life he began to receive wider acclaim. He died at the age of 31, apparently of complications from syphilis.
Interest in Schubert's work increased dramatically in the decades following his death. Composers like Franz Liszt, Robert Schumann and Felix Mendelssohn discovered, collected, and championed his works in the 19th century, as did musicologist Sir George Grove. Franz Schubert is now widely considered to be one of the greatest composers in the Western tradition. (Hide extended text) ... (Read all)

Interest : Skill level : The music is spot on, exactly
what I needed. I think this
song is actually relatively
difficult to sing (correctly).
Anyone, even a beginning, can
do it... but it does take
really good breath support to
get through all the phrases
without breaths. But you can
do it with breaths if you need
to as well.
Interest : Hi, I have just completed
editions of the first three
Grieg songs of which the
fourth, "I Himmelen," you have
already created an edition of.
I would like to create a
compiled edition of the songs
if possible. Please contact me
to discuss!
Thank you...
