Franz Peter Schubert, an Austrian composer, was born on January 31, 1797, in Vienna, Austria, and died on November 19, 1828, in Vienna at the age of 31. Schubert's father was a primary school principal. Schubert had four brothers and fourteen sisters, all of whom died early, leaving only five alive. At the age of six, Schubert entered primary school and received preparatory education from his father, often ranking first in his class. Schubert learned the piano from his older brother and violin from his father and second brother. The family often held joyful ensemble performances. At the age of 11, Schubert joined the imperial court boys' choir and studied at the national theological school, consistently performing well, especially in music, where he always ranked first. When the music teacher introduced new lessons, Schubert had already understood them, often surprising the teacher. From this point on, Schubert began composing a large number of works. At the age of 16, Schubert left the theological school and became an assistant to his father, who was a teacher. While working, he continued composing, creating songs, operas, and symphonies. "The Devil," "Wild Rose" (two songs for Goethe's poems) were works from this period. At the age of 22, Schubert gave up his teaching job and began his life as a composer dedicated to music. However, his life was quite impoverished. Schubert deeply respected the great composer Beethoven and met him for the first time in 1822. At the age of 31, Schubert caught a cold and followed Beethoven in death, resting eternally underground. Known as the "King of Songs," Schubert's compositions did not require a piano; melodies were always in his mind. When inspiration surged, he would swiftly jot them down on staff paper, living solely for the sake of composing. Representative works: Moments Musicaux (1823–1828), Ave Maria (1825), "The Swan Song" (1828), Wild Rose (1815).
