Franz Schubert (1797-1828) was an Austrian
composer of the classical and early romantic eras. Schubert was born
into a family of amateur musicians and learned the piano, violin,
viola, and music theory and composition from members of his family
and other music teachers in Vienna. Schubert initially followed in
his fathers footsteps and became a school teacher, but eventually
gave up teaching. Schubert was a very prolific composer, composing
symphonies, string quartets and other chamber works, many pieces for
piano, and several hundred songs. I have selected a list of some of
