Born on January 31, 1797 in Lichtental Austria Franz Peer Schubert is one of the most incredible pianists and composers. He was an independent composer and lived in poverty most of his life. He usually played his compositions amongst a couple of friends and did not play in public.
Schubert only lived for 32 years but was a productive composer and wrote almost 600 comprehensive symphonies, operas and liturgical music, operas and incidental music pieces. Today Schubert is one of the most frequently performed composers.
When Schubert was only six he began receiving music instruction from his father. A year later he enrolled at his father' music school. He also learn basic violin technique and his brother taught him piano. Schubert became a pupil at the Stadtkonvikt through a choir scholarship. He was introduced to the symphonies and overtures of Mozart as well as the symphonies of Joseph and Michael Haydn. Schubert began a friendship with Joseph von Spaun at this school and von Spaun often supplied Schubert with manuscript paper. The Stadtkonvikt orchestra was the first orchestra Schubert composed music for, Kyrie and a Salve Regina plus a wind octet. He also wrote a cantata for guitar and male voices and his first symphony.
In 1913 Schubert left the Stadtkonvikt for a teaching position at his father's school. He keep on taking private lessons in composition from Salieri and received higher technical training. In 1814 Schubert met Therese Grob and several of his liturgical works were written for her. She was a soloist in the premier of his first Mass in 1814. They wanted marry, but Schubert could not show he could support a family.
