Franz Schubert was an Austrian composer of the Romantic Period. His friends called him “Schwammerl”, which means “little mushroom”, because of his small, chubby stature. His response however was simple, “take people as they are, not as they should be”, and that is exactly what the people did in 1821, when they organised the “Schubertiades” in his honour, a series of highly acclaimed salon concerts in Vienna, in which his works (especially his songs) were showcased, and in with Schubert himself played the piano. Even today, the term Schubertiade is widely used to describe a series of concerts or music festivals.
For a long time, Schubert lived in the shadow of Ludwig van Beethoven, whom he greatly admired, and in whose Vienna neighbourhood he lived for a short while, although at the time, the two composers never actually meet. Schubert said of his role model: “I think I could become something... but who can do anything after Beethoven?” They finally met in 1822, and a great mutual respect and admiration grew. When Beethoven passed in 1827, Schubert was one of the torchbearers at his funeral. Schubert himself died just a year later, much before his time, but through the abundance and wealth of his work, he and his music were quickly viewed along with Beethoven as immortal.
His composition “Gretchen am Spinnrade”, Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel, is often called the birth of Art Song. He set over 600 poems to music, including the famous song cycles Winterreise and Die schöne Müllerin, based on poems by Wilhelm Müller. Some of the most renowned recordings of Schubert’s songs were made in the 1960s by Fritz Wunderlich (tenor) and Hubert Giesen (piano).
But Schubert was much more than just the sum of his songs, he wrote numerous works for piano, many symphonies and masses, and he also tried his hand at opera. His symphonies are divided into six early works, and two late works that were not discovered until after his death, the Unfinished Symphony in B Minor and “The Great” Symphony in C Major, D944.
A few more of Schubert’s highlights are the Forellenquintett or Trout Quintet for Piano and String Quartet, the Schubert Impromptus, and the Moments Musicaux by Schubert for Piano.
