Franz Schubert was an Austrian composer, a native of Vienna. His early musical training in piano and violin lessons came from his father, and his older brother, who were both school teachers (Brown p. 752). Later, he studied under the Viennese court composer Salieri (Brown p.753). After college he became a teacher at his father's school. He detested the teaching profession because it took time away from his compositions. His most prolific year was 1815 during which he wrote 145 songs, including the famous Erlkönig. Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart was a composer in his own right as well as a poet whose works were set by other composers. Die Forelle and An mein Klavier, also set by Schubert, are among his most famous poems. Schubart was
Franz Schubert was born in Vienna, Austria in 1797. Growing up Schubert learnt to play piano, violin and viola. As well as being gifted with the ability of these instruments, his voice “earned him admittance to the Imperial Chapel choir school.” [2] This is where he developed his theory and compositional ability. When Schubert passed away in 1828 he left behind “over 600 lieder (German art songs), 9 symphonies, 15 string quartets, and hundreds of other different genres of pieces, including operas, masses, and piano works.” [3] one of these works is ‘Erlkönig’.
Franz Schubert (1797-1828) was not a particularly well-known composer during his lifetime, however, that did not stop him from leaving his mark on the musical world. He radically redefined the role of composers in German lieder. Unlike his predecessors, Schubert believed that part of a composer’s job was to help the listener interpret the poem. He believed that part of his responsibility was to write the melody and the accompaniment in a way that helped to clarify the meaning of the poem and bring it to life for the listener. That being said, Schubert did not completely discard the work of others before him. Instead, he built on the foundation that they had laid, reflecting the work of previous composers in his music without limiting himself to simple imitation of their ideas. He expanded on their ideas and used them as a platform to express himself in new and distinct ways that were unfamiliar to the music world. His innovations inspired those who came after him not only in German lied but also in other song genres. One particular example of his ability can be seen in both the vocal lines as well as the accompaniment in his song cycle, Die Schöne Müllerin.
He began giving Franz violin lessons while his oldest brother gave him lessons in piano, putting him on the musical path and in a position to enjoy his true passion. After that Schubert began lessons with a private teacher to enhance his musical skills even more. This lead to his acceptance as a choirboy on the Court Chapel, this acceptance automatically admitted him as a pupil to the Imperial and Royal City College. After college he began teaching at his father’s school, although this is not the career path he wanted. He continued to work on his music, composing song after song in hopes that he would make enough money off of his music to end his teaching career. To his dismay this is something he would have to return to, in some form, throughout his short life to make
George Seurat, father of pointillism painting technique was born on December 2, 1859 and died in his early age of 31 on March 29,1891. The full name of the artist is Georges Pierre Seurat and he was trained at the École des Beaux-Arts, where he stepped out of the traditional way of painting and invented his own way of painting through scientific technique of mixing colors. His techniques were beyond the styles of Impressionism, which was the most acquired art technique of that age.
Franz Joseph Haydn was born on March 31, 1732 in Rohrau, Austria. He was under the employment of the Esterházy family, one of the richest musical sponsors for about thirty years. Haydn was blessed with musical talent. His father and grandfather made and repaired wooden wheels. Neither his mother nor his father could read or write music. However, Haydn’s father was an experienced folk musician, who learned how to play the harp by teaching himself how to, on his own. He grew up in a poverty-stricken area, but in a musical atmosphere. His parents encouraged musical expression, and they often sang for relatives and neighbors.
It took time for Schubert to cope with the knowing fact that his voice would never sound the same but with pressure from his family he enrolled in a teachers training college in hopes to be a school master like his father. Schubert quickly took a job as an assistant at the school his father worked at. During the time that Schubert worked with his father he met poets, actors, and signers who later became performers of his work during private concerts among friends and the wealthy. While working in the school Schubert did not stop composing. Between 1813 through 1815 Schubert created a number of piano pieces, produced string quartets, symphonies and operas. Also during his time as a school master Schubert composed Symphony No. 2 through Symphony No. 5, and even created a Landler which was a type of Austrian waltz that he became known for. (“Franz Schubert Biography” notablebiographies.com) Schubert proved to be a friendly being gaining the attraction of other writers, artists, and musicians which developed into friendships. These group of friends organized gatherings where Schubert would perform his newest works, these gatherings were called “Schubertiads”. (Machlis, Joseph, and Kristine
“I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me, in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.” said Jack London, and i completely agree. Now, imagine jumping into a pool, but you’re jumping from an airplane that’s 12,500 feet in the air, and the pool is the ocean. In my opinion, I think learning, watching, or experimenting with any extreme sport would not only be an amazing experience for you, but it can also boost your confidence in many ways. Wouldn’t you want to be able to flaunt that you were brave enough to do something others wouldn’t dare think of?
Many prominent musicians produced major works during the romantic period. Among these are Beethoven, Strause, and Bach. But the musician that I think had the most impact, was Franz Schubert.

Aleksandr Scriabin entered Moscow conservatory in 1888. There he studied composition with Anton Arensky, and piano with Vasily Safonov. As a boy, Scriabin had previously studied with Sergei Taneyev, a famous Russian composer who also taught Rachmaninoff. Scriabin was skillfully adroit on the piano, and for the notes his span couldn't reach, he justified with his nimble fingers . During his studies at the conservatory, Scriabin suffered an injury to his right hand, due to onerous, self-imposed practice of certain highly technical pieces. While this incident sent him on a downward spiral into despair and depression, it also forced his attentions more towards composition. During this temporary handicap, Scriabin
Ludwig van Beethoven, born in Bonn Germany, December 17, 1770, was a composer of some of the most influential pieces of music ever written. Beethoven is one of the most widely recognized and admired composers in the history of western music (And an important bridge between the Classical and Baroque era styles.) Beethoven was a very prolific composer, producing many symphonies, concertos, piano sonatas, violin sonatas, an opera, masses and several overtures. Beethoven is best known for nine symphonies, which have been called the cornerstones of Western civilization. (The most famous being the fifth and ninth Symphony because of their grandeur.)
