| | Franz Schubert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Schubert´s early essay in chamber music is noticeable, since we learn that at the time a regular quartet-party was established at his home "on Sundays and holidays," in which his two brothers played the violin, his father the cello and Franz himself the viola. | | | Franz Peter Schubert (January 31, 1797 – November 19, 1828), was an Austrian composer, considered the last master of the Viennese Classical school and one of the earliest proponents of musical Romanticism. | | | With a natural flair for melodies and lyricism, Schubert is counted among the most gifted composers of the 19th century. |

| | Franz Peter Schubert: Master of Song |
| | The Schubert family made music together regularly, and Herr Schubert was soon able to form a string quartet, in which the elder sons Ignaz and Ferdinand (1794-1859) played violin, the father played cello, and Franz played viola. | | | Although this song is widely performed all over the world, the text most commonly used with Schubert's music is not the poem the composer originally set to music. | | | Among Viennese musicians, Schubert was held in high esteem, and so he was proposed as the music teacher to the noble Esterházy family. |

| | Schubert’s symphonies are the final extension of the classical sonata forms, and three of them—the Fifth, in B Flat (1816), the Eighth, in B Minor (the Unfinished, 1822), and the Ninth, in C Major (1828)—rank with the finest orchestral music. | | | Schubert wrote his first symphony in 1813, and in that year he left the Seminary. | | | He wrote more than 600 songs, many to the lyrics of such German poets as Goethe, Schiller, and Heine. |

| | Franz Schubert |
| | Schubert's discovery of Wilhelm Müller's narrative lyrics gave rise to his further development of the lied by means of the song cycle. | | | In 1824 he tumed to instrumental forms, producing the a Minor and d Minor ('Death and the Maiden') string quartets and the lyrically expansive Octet for wind and strings; around this time he at least sketched, probably at Gmunden in summer 1825, the 'Great' C Major Symphony. | | | Frequently gathering for domestic evenings of Schubert's music (later called 'Schubertiads'), this group more than represented the new phenomenon of an educated, musically aware middle class: it gave him an appreciative audience and influential contacts (notably the Sonnleithners and the baritone J.M. Vogl), as well as the confidence, in 1818, to break with schoolteaching. |

| | CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES: Schubert Biography |
| | Schubert expanded the sense of musical time with his "heavenly length" (Schumann's remark on his discovery of the Great Symphony #9 in C Major in the closet of Schubert's brother), and he is also one of the first composers to fully explore the possibilities of the lyric miniature. | | | Schubert, who is known as one of the greatest melodists, was equally a master of harmonic miracles, creating breathtaking surprises with the imaginative reharmonization of a single note. | | | There was one public concert of Schubert's music before his death. |

| | Composer |
| | Of Schubert's various string quartets the Quartet in A minor, with its variations on the well known Rosamunde theme and the Quartet in D minor, Death and the Maiden, with variations on the song of that name, are the most familiar. | | | Schubert wrote for mixed voices, male voices and female voices, but by far the most famous of his vocal compositions are the five hundred or so songs, settings of verses ranging from Shakespeare to his friends and contemporaries. | | | Schubert's compositions for piano include a number of sonatas as well as the Wanderer Fantasia and two sets of Impromptus, D. 899 and D. He also wrote a number of dances for piano, waltzes, Ländler and German dances. |

| | Milestones of the Millennium: Franz Schubert |
| | Schubert wrote most of the songs in 1823 when he was hospitalized, apparently suffering from syphilis. | | | Schubert wrote the quintet at the request of an amateur cellist who loved Schubert’s famous song, "Die Forelle"-- "The Trout"--and wanted a cello solo based on it. | | | In the months before he died in 1828, Schubert produced some of his most memorable music: the String Quintet in C minor, a cycle of songs called "Schwanengesang," or "Swan Song," and his three greatest piano sonatas. |

| | Island of Freedom - Franz Schubert |
| | Schubert wrote 2 of his best songs, "Gretchen am Spinnrade" and "Erlkonig," nearly 200 other songs, 3 masses, 3 symphonies, and much piano and chamber music before his 19th birthday. | | | Schubert's principal songs include settings of poems by Goethe, two song cycles--Die schone Mullerin (Fair Maid of the Mill, 1823) and Die Winterreise (The Winter's Journey, 1827)--and his last 12 songs (1828), published after his death as Schwanengesang (Swan Song). | | | He also wrote several major works for violin and piano; six masses and other sacred and secular choral music; and several operas, whose lack of success is attributed principally to their poor librettos. |

| | When Schubert was in his teens, he sighed and said: "Who can do anything after Beethoven?" Beethoven is usually spoken of as Schubert’s contemporary, but he was Schubert’s senior by twenty-seven years. | | | For reason or other Schubert’s remains were afterwards disturbed, the Musical Society having obtained permission to take up the bones of both masters -- Schubert and Beethoven -- to measure them, and phrenologists were called in to feel the bumps. | | | Very happy, the two friends went on their trip, and finding a spinet at the inn at which they stopped, Schubert improvised some more songs, of which he received the inspiration on the road. |

| | Neither the student, the amateur performer of Schubert's songs, nor the professional Lieder singer--not to mention the greater art-song audience--has the opportunity to research and properly evaluate the many factors bearing on the words and music as they could be performed. | | | Throughout the analysis various signs of empathy with the sentiment of the poems are recognized as they project the composer's feelings in musical symbols of ambiguity and ambivalence. | | | The identification of the song "Täuschung" as a sign of the special relationship with his friend Schober provided strength to the argument that the complex personal life of Schubert was linkable to the act of creating the cycle's songs. |

| | Notes on Franz Schubert by pianist Bart Berman |
| | BB: The challanges of Schubert's music to interpreters are multifold. | | | Yet, they retain the joyful simplicity and the flavor of a “Schubertiade,” a musical gathering of Schubert’s friends, which concludes with all guests dancing to their beloved Franzl’s Ecossaises or Waltzes. | | | For example, the title of the Valses nobles, (D 969), is telling in this respect: the composer emphasizes that these waltzes are meant as noble art music, rather than for dancing. |

(page 223) | | | (Redirected from Constructions of Subjectivity in Schubert's Music) | | | "Constructions of Subjectivity in Franz Schubert's Music" was originally a presentation in which highly controversial musicologist Susan McClary set about to discuss how Franz Schubert's music may have been affected by his sexuality. |
