Features: This book primarily focuses on Schubert as an artist rather than Schubert the person. Perhaps one day new materials will be discovered, allowing future historians to write a biography about Schubert's private life as a man, an artist, a son, a brother, and a friend. But for now, regarding Schubert's relationship with his parents (his mother, in fact, never appeared in any existing records), his romantic history, and his sexual life status, we can only speculate, and perhaps we will never know for sure. A recurring theme in this short biography is why there are gaps in Schubert's life records and the consequences of these gaps—in biographies, novels, operettas, and films, speculation and imagination are often used to fill these gaps.
